Operio
My drawing was not a picture of a hat. It was a picture of a boa constrictor digesting an elephant. But since the grown-ups were not able to understand it, I made another drawing: I drew the inside of a boa constrictor, so that the grown-ups could see it clearly. They always need to have things explained. Little Prince explained.

BULL !
Bull created by the industrial designer Ander Lizaso makes a perfect furniture piece for children between 3 and 6 years old. In essence it´s a tiny chair with the backrest being a “giant” spinning wheel. That allows it to be used as a basket or a trolley, and given the kid´s imaginary and Bull´s evocative shapes it may easily become a toy itself.
GREAT!
