For all of you kid-loving DIY-ers out there, Nicola Enrico Stäubli, a Swiss-based architect (and bike messenger), has created a line of free children’s furniture called Foldschool.

McDonald’s Needs Kids With Imagination
In this commercial, we’re not sure whether McDonald’s is telling us all kids have an active imagination or whether their food is an addictive hallucinogenic.
