Momoll had us at “Hello,” with their simply minimalist style.
Modern play kitchens, wooden farmhouses, plexiglass dollhouse/car towers, and crazy high-back faux-leather chairs?! — Really, we’re smitten! Now, if only we could find a way to get them to ship to the US.

David Week’s HANNO the Gorilla was popular in the blogosphere a few months back, and since then, the company’s released Ursa the Bear. Just like her primate counterpart, Ursa’s got a strudy wood frame and elastic-band muscles that allow you to pose her any way you like!

Over at Inhabitots we nearly lost our minds when we saw this Modularean Eco House! It’s definitely the dollhouse for kids who are already showing signs of architectural genius.

Uhh..we’re speechless. This is, by far, the most genius mini furniture design we’ve ever seen! We can’t afford it, it’s about $1000 and made in ultra limited quantities — but we’re open to coveting from a distance. 
Andrew Thornton and Jenny Argie, the brains behind Argington, designed this 20-piece set after the children’s furniture they sell under their [...]

Sometimes blocks can be boring. Plain and simple. Other times, they’re absolutely fabulous.
Take in point — these City in a Bag Blocks from the Japanese-based interior decor company Muji. The set above is of New York City, so it includes blocks that represent the Chrysler Building, Guggenheim Museum, the Statue of Liberty and the Empire [...]

We saw this in Dwell’s June issue, just like the folks at Ohdeedoh did, and, like them, we loved it! It’s full of bright colors, great illustrations, and is a far step forward from the common cardboard memory games. Also in the collection are puzzles, alphabet blocks and dolls!
P.S. If the graphics above seem familiar, [...]
