Apartamento's collaboration with the French clothing company A.P.C. is geared toward an audience several decades younger than either company usually courts.
The new project is a series of three coloring books featuring black and white illustrations from Matt Leines, Geoff Mcfetridge, and Reg Mombassa. They're calling the series the "The Everyday Life Colouring Books" and each version is limited to only 500 copies. If you know a stylish kid in the market for a new coloring book, the series is available in A.P.C. locations as well as their online store.
Last we checked, copies are still available for pre-order in A.P.C.'s online shop.
The Japanese housewares brand aeru is always looking for ways to make the lives of young families easier. Its latest product, a collaboration with the designers at Nosinger, is a line of handmade bowls that help young children learn how to eat on their own with fewer messy spills. The design is simple: starting with traditional Japanese flatware materials, a small ledge is built as a center ring in the bowl in order to help the eater-in-training push food back onto a utensil before taking a bite. According to Spoon-Tamago, the bowls come in three varieties: Yamanaka Lacquer, Ootani-yaki pottery, and Tobe-yaki porcelain, and depending on the materials, a set of three costs between $45 and $100.
