Toy/Chaise
- Designed by: Lisa Albin
- Made by: IglooPlay
The Toy/Chaise from Brooklyn-based designer Lisa Albin is a durable dresser and storage unit that doubles as a comfy space for your kid to sit and lounge. The birch plywood box has a built-in backrest so the little one can take a rest after picking up her toys. IglooPlay had a wonderful display at Dwell on Design this year, and it's definitely worth a look at the website to see more modern tot furniture.
