The World Designed for Children

Childhood is an important period of contact with new things. Carefully crafted design and high-quality items are essential for a child’s development. Therefore, a high-quality physical environment for children should demonstrate a huge sensitivity to the physical and mental experience of children, from the organisation of the building, to the use of materials.

In this book, HIBINO SEKKEI illustrates its unique and innovative philosophy from three aspects – places for children, elements of places for children (kitchen, restroom, playground, material, colour, etc.) and things for children, such as furniture, uniforms, and stationery.
