Ducduc is a NYC-based design collaborative that creates children's furniture, textiles and accessories using durable, eco-friendly materials including sustainable hardwoods. Their new walnut dining room table solves the familiar problem of what to do with the kids during meals.
Panels on the table rotate between wood (suitable for adults) and white board (perfect for kids) on the other. Underneath the panels are built-in storage compartments for tableware or art supplies. The accompanying bench, also with extra storage, is covered in stain- water- and bacteria-resistant Crypton fabric, and fits with a specially designed high chair and booster seat that you can add to the set.
The table is available for $8,500, the benches are $1,100 each, and the booster or high chair add-ons are $125 each.
