Not Just For the Big Kids
When we talk about custom furniture in all shapes and sizes we really mean it
Growing up, I remember always having to sit at the kids table during family gatherings. It was usually something thrown together at the last minute and put away after each gathering. Bought for cheap, usually made of brightly coloured plastic and wouldn’t last in the elements but it doesn’t always have to be that way.
Although our main focus is on furniture for the big “kids” we have had a number of requests for furniture for the little kids and it all started with the picnic table that we made.
The picnic table that started the real demand for custom pieces
This picnic table was our first true piece of custom furniture as it steered away from the timber and steel industrial look that we started out with. We were presented with the question of possibly making a smaller version for kids and we thought, why not? The trickiest part was getting the measurement right, not too small that growing kids would out size it too quickly but also not too big that it would be unsuitable for smaller children. Once we got the sizing right the table itself came together pretty quickly. The first one that we made was adapted to be pulled apart and put back together as it needed to be transported interstate and space was an issue. In saying that, the overall design and structural integrity wasn’t compromised in any way. Take a look at the picture below and see for yourself.
Miniature picnic table. How adorable!
At the end of last year we were approached by a local primary school who had seen our kids picnic table and were interested in adding one to the playground for the kids to enjoy at recess and lunch. Like all of our products we make, this one was slightly different from the first and included an umbrella hole to provide same shade for the kids during their outdoor time.
This picnic table will get plenty of use for years to come
Although we have only made picnic tables for kids, the sky is the limit for what we can make for them. Be sure to keep an eye on our socials this month for the reveal of something else miniature that we are currently working on.
