Discover the rationales and inspirations behind these concepts, which also unify aspects of the business with a cohesive brand identity to promote the desired brand impressions and top-of-the-mind consumer recall. Through the projects in these pages, the reader is offered a host of thoughtful and creative solutions in designing children's spaces, making this book a handy tool for anyone in the business of managing children's spaces, or keen on designing children's spaces.
