DESIGNED FOR KIDS // A complete sourcebook of stylish products for the modern family
Let us now praise inventors of children’s products. While this book has a lot of high design, a lot of eye-catching masterpieces that will send people reaching for their wallets, there is also a lot of design that just makes the day-to-day work of carrying, walking, changing, even appeasing, small children a little less trying, and much more aesthetically pleasing. Cees Driessen established the Mutsaerts brand in 1937; his son Freek Driessen started his own company, Mutsy, in 1994 and took over Mutsaerts after his father retired in the late 1990s. The brand created a new wide range of products in 2007, the first for over five years, including a variety of compatible designs, from strollers and pushchairs to car seats and high chairs. All adhere to design ethos of simplicity and modernity set off with vibrant colours.
