Choose from among the many familiar public street signs like “Yield” designed dining table or “No Dumping” chair and perk up any area of your home.

Here is something unique. With all the great designs we see as far as home furnishings are concerned, who would ever think that a bunch of 5 year olds could come up with something like this Doggy Table. Apparently it was an experiment that Quentin de Coster had in mind, putting together 5 kids to see what they could produce.

All of the drawings drawn by the kids were interpreted and transformed into this dog-table. It comes in the size a kid would ideally be tied up with and even has a kid-container for all the drawing utensils a kid would normally need.
