In a recent post “Design Your Own“, we featured funky shoes, a clothing line and an app that are engaging children’s imagination. Today with Leal and dekdek, we are adding a light box and a rug to the list of products that you can customise. Ideal to bring children’s bedrooms that irresistible personal touch.
Leal creates light boxes that that work as a lamps, and as a fun way to light our soul, make us laugh, remember something through a message. A great way to decorate children’s rooms with their names or with sweet words.
Made in Portugal in local oak wood, the boxes are equipped with LED lights, and available with a normal plug or with a battery allowing 15 hours of autonomy. You can chose your own text, font and letters colour (from among 20 shades), to have the Leal box of your dreams. €99 (normal plug) – €119 (battery charger). Email your order to lealdesign2013@gmail.com.
Dekdek is a German firm that creates “Play Furniture”. Their rug collection, made of 100% new zealand wool, allows custom made styles : your choice of colour combination and pattern, either from a theme or for instance with a number or a name. Size is 43 x 71 inches to fit in every room. Free delivery to most countries. Try it and design your own bespoke rug here.
