How to Roll With Clean-Up Time

Erin Behan — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 18:06:00 GMT

Droolicious writer Mir wasn't a fan of the OFFI rolltop bench, but I must agree to disagree by pointing out the loveliness that is the OFFI rolltop chair. I am just beginning to appreciate how much space children's toys take up and how they are always underfoot, no matter what. Furniture that does two-in-one duty has always been high on parent's list of must-haves, and this rolltop chair has the added benefit of being attractive. For kids, of course, the key is the secret compartment where they can "hide" (aka put away) all their belongings. At 22" high, 24" deep and 15" wide with a 10" seat, it's also sized for kids only, increasing the appeal.The tambour is solid birch and the base is painted MDF. It's $168 at Follow Function.

Pre-orders Now Being Taken on the Nest Crib

Chris Ford — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 17:02:00 GMT

Modern design purveyor Design Public is now taking pre-orders on the OFFI Nest Crib. The OFFI Nest Crib was actually originally the Ooba Nest Crib, but apparently it has been out of production for a while, and now the designer (Scott WIlson) is re-releasing it with OFFI.

The crib is made of a high quality maple or walnut veneer on bent plywood. It also converts to a toddler day-bed too, which is good because the crib is going to set you back $2,499, and you'll want to get as much use out of it as possible.

OFFI Nest Crib, $2,499 from Design Public. Pre-order only, shipping this winter.

7 Days of Eco-Friendly Décor: Offi Rock-It Chair

Heather Kuldell — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 14:26:00 GMT

Rocking chairs are the perfect middle ground for parents who want their kids to sit still when the kids who just can’t. Think of it as controlled, contained wiggling. But before your kids can get to rocking in the Offi Rock-it Chair, they have to put it together.

Part of the “Built By Me” collection, Offi’s chair is made of birch wood and non-toxic paint. But don’t let the assembly intimidate you; there’s only four or so pieces. This price, however, is a little steep for something DIY: $190.

MyPetLamp Looks Great, Lights Well Even When Defaced

Aaron Burgess — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 16:02:00 GMT

Kids already coloring everywhere they shouldn't be? Encourage them while sprucing up the bedroom or nursery with the MyPetLamp HoweePup Jr. from Offi ($59). Made from odorless, non-toxic plastic, Howee casts a warm glow in one of six different colors (there's also an equally cute teddy-bear version) and includes washable markers that let you color right on its surface. At just 12 volts, the light bulb shouldn't ever get too hot to touch, and kids will love having carte blanche to deface Howee as creatively as they like.

Offi Roll-Top Bench: Put Your Fingers Away!

Mir — Fri, 17 Aug 2007 15:02:00 GMT

I love the idea and the look of this toy storage bench from Offi (available at Modern Essentials), but I can't help feeling that they've missed the mark a bit. First of all, you know I'm going to complain that at $199 it should be all wood, none of this "printed fiberboard" nonsense. Second, I worry about that roll-top getting stuck and refusing to move after umpteen toddler slammings up and down, or -- worse -- little fingers getting caught at the end there.

And that's not even addressing the fact that no kid puts their toys away unasked, no matter how cool the toy chest.

Offi Lights the Way, Doggie Style

Mir — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 16:01:00 GMT

Remember these? I think I just found its bigger canine brother: Offi makes this dachshund lamp in six different colors ($59 at Mod Decor). True, you can't carry them around like the Candeloos... but it's not every day you see a glowing wiener dog.

Scribblers Need the Offi Chalkboard Table

Mir — Sun, 10 Jun 2007 17:03:00 GMT

Both of my children have, at various times in their toddlerhood, completely "redecorated" a piece of furniture for me. Oh, the joy. (Thank the heavens for Mr. Clean Magic Erasers, is all I'm saying.) Now you can let your little Rembrandt scribble on the table with abandon and smile instead of scowl. Offi brings us this chalkboard table ($249 at Modernseed) to satisfy every child's irrepressible urge to deface the furniture.
