I'm opening up our 7 Days of Kids Room feature with a potentially controversial choice. This play/seating arrangement has no cutesy animals, no bright colors and no whimsy. But what it does have is imagination-sparking power. What kid wouldn't like to create a fantasy world from these seatable outdoor-inspired boulders and rocks? Created by Javier Mariscal, the Spanish artist and designer who designed the Gran Hotel Domine Bilbao, it's a durable, functional work of art that also happens to be incredibly kid-friendly.

The Polyethylene furniture pieces aren't going to warp, nick or splinter. And can be easily transported from inside to out and back again, as imagination demands. The pieces are available from Unica Home. The chair is $240, the table is $175 and the bench is $384. Can't you just picture Barbie at her next Stone Age tea party?
