As a baby grows, his furniture grows together!

Our pFurniture is an innovative concept inspired by cell biology. It proliferates, just as a baby grows with cell proliferation.

The key idea of pFurniture is to follow natural biological pathways.

* It is based on the concept of cell proliferation.
* It is made with eco-friendly biomaterials that are biocompatible, non-flammable, mechanically stable, and biodegradable.
* It is safe for children physically and chemically.
* It is space-efficient because of the reuse unnecessary products. It can even be easily folded when not used.
* It can be effectively manufactured at a low cost.

Baby products, made of wood or hard plastics, tend to have short useful product lives because of the baby's growth. They are expensive, cluttering our living environment, and are a wasteful use of natural resources. Imagine the accumulated quantities of abandoned baby products produced every three months by each household. Imagine the harm to our environment.

Moreover, parents legitimately worry about children's exposures to environmental hormones from hard-plastic-based products and the danger of flammable and chemically treated wood-based baby products. It is ironic that products designed for the good of babies actually harm the very environment they will grow up in, putting at risk their individual health and the survival of the next generation.

In addition, immediate costs of this waste are borne by the parents who cannot afford to purchase the products due to financial constraints or spatial limitations.

  • Simple and creative. I like it. Unlike some of the projects I've seen on youtube, this idea could actually be implemented and impact so many young families. I give it two thumbs up!

  • Erm, ever heard of buying second hand? Then you sell it on when you're done. Quite a simple solution, I would have thought?

  • Great idea. We all know our kids' needs change every month. I really hope this idea wins.

  • Man is it really work that way??

  • I like it alot. If this idea gets developed properly, it could be a big success. Good luck!

  • I've always wanted this. What an innovative idea! I like it!!!

  • It's COOL!!!!

  • Eine sehr gute Idee!

  • Ich freue mich, Kindermoebel, die praktisch und wirtscaftlich sind, endlich auf dem Makt zu sehen. Es ist nur schade, dass ich diese Art von Kindermoebel nicht mehr gebrauchen kann, da meine Kinder schon aus dem Alter sind.
