NIDO

About

BUILD. STACK. NEST. PLAY.

NIDO is a set of seven nesting cubes with playful surfaces that are designed for children to interact with and integrate with their existing toys to inspire confidence and creativity. From storing knick-knacks to towering mini skyscrapers, NIDO can be built, balanced, stacked and played indoors and at the playground. It is crafted with sturdy Baltic Birch plywood, painted with non-toxic paint and coated with water-repellent environmentally-friendly natural wax. NIDO was designed to last, be easy to repair and look just as good on your coffee table as it would on the toy shelf.
