"This slightly wacky chair is know as 'the Baron', and I can quite imagine that any small person sitting on it would indeed be suddenly bestowed with an air of nobility. Discovered on Dutch site Baby-S, the Baron chair comes in a mix-and-match trio of vivid shades including lime and pink, or a more muted graphite, and costs 195 Euros. "]]>
Very expensive, but this would be the perfect play table. "This piece definitely looks solid enough, but what really appeals are the six storage bins that fit neatly underneath, with their contents visible through those nifty round windows."]]>

"The desk 'Clark' provides temporary storage which is not about filing or sorting but simply stacking. Everything stays within reach and does not disappear In drawers or cupboards. The areas for stationary are grouped around the desk. To the left there Is a deep case which can hold big stacks. The case Is open and slightly tilted towards the desk. To the rear there is a case attached to the workspace which holds box files. The files sink completely Into the case but can be reached easily through the opening at the back. The shallow box at the back is suitable for smaller stacks. To the right there Is a compartment which can be used for a variety of things. The name has been Inspired by the English word 'clerk'. A clerk can be found In banks, offices or councils and despite 'Clark' being an extremely well organized desk there Is nothing bureaucratic about it" vialink http://www.ma-decoration.net/decoration/design/table-design-ilotllov/ vialink]]>

Kashiwado Chair by Isamu Kenmochi "One of the most significant figures in the emergence of Japanese industrial design after the Second World War, Isamu Kenmochi graduated in 1932 from the Tokyo College of Industrial Arts. Like many of the first generation of Japanese industrial designers he was also a member of the Industrial Arts Institute where he worked in the Woodwork Technology Department. At the IAI he worked alongside design pioneers such as Jiro Kosugi and Mosuke Yoshitake and was influenced by European Modernist designers such as Bruno Taut. In 1952 he also became a founding member of the Japan Industrial Designers Association. In 1953, together with other leading designers of the post-Second World War years such as Masaru Katsumie, Yusaku Kamekura, Riki Watanabe, and Sori Yanagi, he was also involved in the formation of the International Design Committee.

British artist Willard Wigan's sculptures are so small that he needs to use a microscope. Tiny people and buildings are "carved from grains of sand and painted using the hair of a fly." Wigan says: "The stillness of it is very important -- you have to control the whole nervous system, you have to work between the heartbeat -- the pulse of your finger can destroy the work." vialink http://www.designboom.com/ vialink vialink http://www.kottke.org/09/01/willard-wigan-micro-sculptor vialink ]]>
