Childhood Series: Bringing Happiness to Compact Living Spaces

A Versatile and Cozy Furniture Collection by Wanghe Studio - GOUTU

The Childhood Series, designed by Wanghe Studio - GOUTU, aims to bring a cozy feeling to compact living spaces through versatile functionality and a friendly character. Inspired by objects from childhood, each item in the series is flat-packed and easy to move, encouraging furniture to be taken with rather than discarded. The collection consists of six pieces: a sofa, a pair of side tables, a mobile coatrack, a sideboard, and a floor mirror.

Portability is the main focus of the Childhood Series. As urban drifters constantly move from one place to another, easy mobility and flat-pack design are critical. Metal and wood are the primary materials used, ensuring both durability and a sense of warmth.

Each object in the Childhood Series is flat-packed to minimize logistic costs and save packaging materials. For example, the Skateboard Coat Rack, with smooth-rolling casters, can be used anywhere. Its wood tray easily holds small items like keys, cards, and wallets. The Marshmallow Sofa comes with a tray and low table that can be assembled on either side. The convenient low table can also be moved around for different occasions or simply on a whim. The Rocking Pouf can be set next to the sofa for leg exercises or used as a standalone piece.

The Childhood Series was designed to address the challenges faced by young professionals living in cramped apartments in big cities. By infusing tiny living spaces with a feeling of warmth and functionality, this collection aims to bring happiness to those who experience it. Each piece is not only stylish and durable but also affordable, making it accessible to a wide range of individuals.

The Childhood Series by Wanghe Studio - GOUTU was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Furniture Design category in 2019. This prestigious award recognizes designs that exhibit strong technical and creative skills, contributing to improvements in quality of life. By incorporating best practices in art, science, design, and technology, the Childhood Series has made a significant impact in making the world a better place.
