It isn’t a peg meant to fit in a triangular block of wood. But it is made of spun small striped pine and lacquer wood. It is not an umbrella to float atop your summer cocktail. But its surface will safely steady your summer cocktail, while its stem is sturdily planted in the grass-adorned soil, or wherever. Andreas Engesvik’s first solo project for Wallpaper* in Italy is a delightfully whimsical lawn table, available in three colors.

A safe, stylish baby- travels as a Pli baby. The scandinavian designed Seed Pli pram is only available in the UK. The concept of a truly functional, pushchair (which we in the US call a “stroller”) that is not only contemporary, but extremely well thought out is brought to you here by Olivers Babycare. If you are strolling down paved streets, sipping a latte and pushing baby around, the smaller wheels are an ideal fit for the pushchair. If you find yourself walking across rough terrain or even snow- no problem, the bigger wheels do the trick, attachable skis available for this wheel size. It comes in three different colors, and is made to last from newborn up to three years-old, converting to an upright chair seat for when the time is right to transition. The Seed Pli pram has passed all applicable safety requirements, and comes with a number of attachments to suit your needs. Built with a durable, high grade aluminum frame and a range of flight industry plastics, the Seed Pli pram might incite more than a few admiring glances.
