Lil’ Morphitures: Furniture that Children Love
Studies show that when given the choice, children commonly prefer to play and interact with real-world objects rather than toys. Furthermore, children of today are extremely well-versed in the digital world and grow up with the exponentially increasing ability and desire to manipulate their digital stuff. Naturally, they should expect their physical environments to allow them the user-controlled ‘manipulability’ as well. Our friends over at OPeX Studios, alongside their Square Inches of Love project, have come up with a concept of children’s furniture which encompasses the very essence of this in their lil’ morphitures range.

lil’ morphitures is a line of furniture for children that offers them the opportunity to construct a variety of furniture pieces from a kit of parts. Due to their technique of construction, light material built through rapid prototyping, lil’ morphitures facilitate children with the ease in assembly and dis-assembly of the pieces on their own.

lil’ morphitures are meant to encourage children’s divergent thinking, teach them about structural integrity of things and illuminate how details such as hinges work. They allow children the manipulation of their physical stuff in the most real sense possible. They’re currently seeking ambitious investors to kick start the production so if you like the sound of this get in touch at info@opexstudios.com.
