I’m always on the lookout for awesome kid furniture and this is my recent obsession; “baby in table” by Oji Masanori. It was completed in late 2008 and is part of OTOMO, a joint project between Japanese furniture maker Toa Ringyo and Sincol, an importer of Italian upholstery. The beauty of this table is in the way it adapts to a growing family. I can just picture little huey drawing while his baby sister sits in the table watching him (she can stare at her big brother for hours and be content).

Founded earlier this year, BAKOKO is a design company based out of Tokyo and run by UK Native Alastair Townsend and Kayoko Ohtsuki. They were kind enough to send over a video of a recent talk they did at Pecha Kucha in Tokyo late last month. If you’re into architecture at all I highly recommend you devote 8 minutes of your time to check out Alastair discuss the technology and process that went into some of his recent projects. fyi – The Shishi Odoshi rain shelter is gnarly.
