This Furniture Collection Was Designed By Your Inner 5-Year-Old - Yanko Design

"Remember the pure joy of stacking blocks as a kid? That satisfying click when you balanced a square on a circle, or the creative rush when you toppled everything and started fresh? Yellow Nose Studio remembers, and they've turned that childhood magic into furniture that actually makes sense for adults. Their INDERGARTEN collection is basically what happens when you let your inner five-year-old design chairs, and honestly, it's brilliant."

"Here's the concept in its simplest form. Take three basic wooden shapes: a circle, a square, and a rectangle. Stack them. Rotate them. Layer them differently. What you get is ten distinct variations that somehow look like they belong in a contemporary art gallery and your living room at the same time. The pieces function as seating objects and vases, all handcrafted from beech, cedar, and pine."

"They don't just sketch ideas and hand them off to manufacturers. Each designer makes ten pieces, then they swap and literally deconstruct each other's work, adding new elements until they both agree on the final ten designs. It's collaborative, with every piece containing both perspectives, and that back-and-forth, the willingness to take apart and rebuild, echoes exactly how kids play with blocks and gives these pieces their unique energy."

Yellow Nose Studio, a Berlin-based Taiwanese design duo, created the INDERGARTEN collection by dropping the ‘‘K’’ from kindergarten to emphasize playful, experimental design. The collection uses three basic wooden shapes—a circle, a square, and a rectangle—that are stacked, rotated, and layered to produce ten distinct variations. The pieces function as seating and vases and are handcrafted from beech, cedar, and pine. Each designer makes ten pieces, then swaps, deconstructs, and rebuilds the other's work until both approve the final designs. The process and forms echo Froebel's kindergarten ideas by prioritizing play, hands-on exploration, and collaborative iteration.
