…of the Yu Watanabe x Hiromatsu Furniture line.

*GASP* be still my beating heart. I know it’s Friday and I should be winding down but I can’t help it.  Hiromatsu Furniture has released a line of kids furniture and I can’t get enough of this sofa. It’s so free and innocent and fun; as if it was designed by a child.

But get this – it was actually designed by Yu Watanabe, an 80-year old retired professor of design. His impressive resume includes a position as head of board of directors of the Japan Interior Designers Association, as well as professor at the Chiba Institute of Technology. He retired 6 years ago but agreed to take on this one-time project with Hiromatsu Furniture.

I would love to have an oversized cabinet like this and fill it will all my ceramic table ware that I’ve accumulated over the years.
