Leaf chairs and table from Hand Made Places

I have to confess for a real weakness for this set of leaf table and chairs, even though they are designed - and priced - for schools and kindergartens. Those rounded edges, and the interest of the shapes, are going to captivate their young users.

They're just one of the whimsical-in-a-good-way products from Handmade Places, a site which is definitely worth a visit if you are looking for something robust, and a bit different. All their furniture seems to work hard to create an environment where it's easy for kids to interact, which sounds improbable until you see it. If that seems to make no sense, check it out for yourself.
