BOOK-GARDEN
What better way to make veggies fun than to tell a story with veggie characters? This interactive textile book was created in a collaboration between Lorena Canals and her daughters Oli and Carol, with the idea of creating joy in eating vegetables! This Lorena Canals Oli & Carol "Cool Kids Eat Healthy" Textile Book tells the story of a veggie's journey through the garden to our dinner plates. This book is handmade using colourful cotton canvas patches with pockets where the veggies can be moved and inserted from page to page.
Oli & Carol is a young company from Barcelona that specialises in cool, natural toys for modern parents and kids. Their core belief is in taking care of the environment by offering natural, sustainable products that follow an artisanal handmade process. They also happen to be Lorena Canals' daughters, which makes this a family collaboration!
It started with one simple question that perhaps a lot of us parents have: 'Why can't we wash our kids' Rugs at home? That was enough to set Lorena Canals on a journey to come up with a solution. Lorena Canals started her company to fill the void of modern day living. Her Rug designs are stylish and practical. Made from 100% cotton, her Rug collection is machine-washable and is the new standard in the world of Rug design.
28 years later, Lorena Canals now operates out of offices in Barcelona and New York. Their Rugs are manufactured in two of their very own facilities in India where they have full control of the quality and best practices. Their designers work side by side with 120 artisans who take care of every detail in an elaborate handmade process. The brand prides itself on quality in every aspect of production, from the finest raw materials to socially responsible labour practices. Nowadays, Lorena Canals products are found worldwide in more than 2,500 points of sale, making its products available in more than 40 countries. Their offerings have expanded to include Home Decoration serving both children and grown-ups! A nursery funded by the SAKULA PROJECT now has 120 boys and girls attending and continues to grow year after year.
As you're probably aware, cotton is a natural fibre that comes from the cotton plant and grows commonly all over the world. It is a renewable and eco-friendly material that is easy to clean and maintain. Cotton offers an unparalleled feeling of softness, comfort and warmth.
