[Media] “Children and Design” (BNN Shinsha)

The book *Children and Design* (BNN Shinsha) featured CANVAS CI, the Workshop Collection, and PEG.
Flipping through the pages is incredibly inspiring. I highly recommend this book.

“This book compiles designs for products, facilities, and experiences that aim to enhance the quality of children’s lives and culture. In recent years, there has been a surge in real-world examples that go beyond mere cuteness; they incorporate design elements that encourage enjoyable choices for adults spending time with children, foster creativity, and offer a fresh, design-oriented perspective on everyday objects.
Focusing primarily on graphic tools, this book introduces product packaging aimed at children, educational toys and other products, workshops and exhibitions, interactive content, and signage plans for facilities such as kindergartens
and hospitals.”
