The 3D alphabet encourages kids to learn their letters. Designed by a mum, the Tidy Books bookcase was the first front-facing bookcase for the home, and aligns with Montessori principles. Eco-friendly production and stylish, compact design make this the ideal child’s bookcase.
Everything I make is designed to be fun and enjoyable for children, to draw them in and foster their sense of independence.
I created the Tidy Books bookcase because ordinary children's bookcases decorated or not made no sense to me - books fall out. Plus how can you put such thin books of different sizes on an ordinary shelf? A box doesn't work either as the kids can’t see the covers. I wanted something that works well for kids and their books and looks good too, so I created the original Tidy Books children's bookcase for my daughter, Adele in 2004. And this changed the way books are presented to children in the home.
I make sure all my designs are stripped back to keep them looking stylish so they blend easily into a home. It’s about creating a timeless classic that can be passed down through the generations.
My designs give kids the freedom to discover their world by themselves- because kids really do know best."
