It has been quite a while that I did not share anything here from Sweden. Let’s change that quickly and present you Studio Mutant.

MUTANT’s products are a mixture between toys and furnishings. The perfect fit for homes where adults and children share time and space. All products are toys and design objects at the same time. Appealing to the little ones with precious details and shapes and the parents for the choice of material, function and expression.

Everything is produced in Sweden from natural materials!

The frog, for example, is soft and cozy to play with. You can hug it or throw it around. And it has a weight in the back which makes it balance well on the bed frame or on the shelf.

The swan is super versatile as well. You can sit on it. Or put it on your head.  And when the children are done with playing it is a beautiful accessory in the living room.

I really like the idea of intersecting toys with design objects. Without loosing the ‘play’ factor…

Today, wooden toys are getting a whole new meaning. I mean you know that I love a good high quality wooden toy. I have written about it many times. But when I came across James Paulius it felt like a new world of wood and toys opened. James is a Brooklyn-based designer and he designs products that integrate people with their environment.

Promoting creativity, curiosity and joy. I was definitely very curious to find out more and felt lots of joy when I did.

So are these the coolest wooden toys?

Sky Villages is an interactive installation that invites children to build clusters of airborne villages on the wall. These villages are made of tessellating units that interlock in countless ways to create various structures.
When a unit no longer fits the particular needs of its location, it can be moved elsewhere for a new family to reside in. Constantly evolving, these structures accommodate the ever-changing tendencies of humanity and nature.

I would love to build my very own sky village.

Build the world you want to see with Blockitecture, a set of architectural building blocks. Use the cantilever and nest hexagonal blocks to create towers, cities and dwellings. And the Hexagonal blocks will nest together in various formations. Counterbalancing each other and creating unique cantilevers found in modern and contemporary architecture.
