I'd love to see a box packed full of cardboard sheets that transforms entirely into toy. I guess striking the right balance between fold-it-yourself and ready-out-of-the-box is tricky. Still, why settle for pretty graphic presentation on that taxis and buses sheet, when you could stick a few hot dog carts on there and eliminate even more extraneous packaging?
Still, that bouquet of flowers is well-deserved.
Names, we need names, people. We need to read
Moco Loco more closely in the springtime. City in a Box is by
Patricia Weusten, who also proposed a breastfeeding compartment on the train with fold-down changing tables built into the seats. It's called the
Mother & Child Unit. Because in extremely conservative regimes like the Netherlands, no one wants to see a naked breast in a normal, public train compartment, and like breastfeeding, changing diapers is strictly a woman's job. Now someone get me a bier.

Wow this is gorgeous! Can't you see Ikea marketing these? Anything that parents can play with (putting it together/setting it up) and kids will enjoy is a big plus in my book.
This reminds me of the city in a bag by Muji. Am I dreaming?
[nope, I thought the same thing, only less choke hazardy -ed.]
LOVE IT!! Know if it's on the market?
