About

Toys that transform as your child grows

Matatena is a series of multiuse toys that can change as a child develops. Products for babies and children have very short life cycles, as the child grows up old toys are abandoned for new ones. Matatena addresses this problem through a set of multi functioning furniture that remain relevant as the child ages. Bambinillo, for instance, is a bassinet that can also function as a rocking horse, while Tipi-mat is a play mat that transforms into a tent.
