701030 After an education as Building engineer and a degree at The Danish Design School, Jesper founded his own studio in 2001. Since then the studio has grown to include a staff of four and has gained international recognition for expertise and innovation across a wide range of projects, achieved in collaboration with some of the world's leading entrepreneurs and businesses. Play has arisen from the idea of playing and building a child's imagination. Jesper K. Thomsen explains, ''Children's furniture must be for children, rather than small copies of adult furniture. I have designed a series of children's furniture for both boys and girls that has a humorous approach. The soapbox cart is an icon for play and creation, making it a natural source of inspiration for me when designing furniture for children. To the extent that the soapbox cart is usually built in the garage by adults and children together, that is the emotion I want to portray in the furniture series. The concept for Play almost grew on its own. Just like a soapbox cart, Play will hopefully contribute to many hours of play and discovery.'' Designed by: Jesper K.
