Dusty blue toy bench

A long, low toy bench in dusty blue with four open cubbies, each holding a soft felt bin in terracotta, oatmeal, sage or mustard, under a solid pine seat with well-rounded edges and a washable mustard cushion. There is no lid to trap fingers: toys go in from the front, and tidying up becomes a colour game.

More kids designs

• Coral two-step stool for kids A two-step stool that lets a small child reach the bathroom basin or the kitchen counter on their own: 210mm and 420mm treads on a 380mm-deep base, sides arched between the feet so it stands on four rubber pads and never rocks. Every corner is rounded to 30mm, the maple treads carry grip strips, and a riser and two rails are housed in both sides so it cannot rack.
• Powder blue kitchen helper tower A kitchen helper tower that brings a toddler safely up to counter height to stir, wash and watch: a standing platform that moves between three cleat heights as they grow, a back step to climb in by, and maple safety rails on three sides. The sides splay from 380mm at the top to 520mm on the floor, so it is far harder to push over than a stool.
• Kids art desk with paper roll A child-height art desk with a maple top at 560mm: a cornflower-blue pedestal of four shallow flat-file drawers that keep paintings flat, a pedestal of paper cubbies, and a birch upstand with a crayon ledge and a big roll of kraft paper that pulls down over the desk and tears off against a cutting bar. Rounded everywhere, and fixed to the wall.
