Turkish-born Rana Ottaviani, who lives in Seattle with her Italian husband and two young children, designed the Tatolino (Italian slang for “little potato”) of EVA foam for kids age one to 12 and beyond. Child after child in the Modern Family Zone pounced, sat, bounced and rode upon the versatile, three-pronged forgiving form. When flat, it can serve as a seat, table or the ultimate item for pre-walkers to pull up on; turned on its side it becomes a comfy, high-backed chair or striped horsey.
