Entry Description

Greater intimacy between mother and child is desirable for all. Juggling work and family is a great challenge for every career mother. Inspired by how kangaroos and penguins look after their young, Kanga is designed to improve intimacy as mothers can hug their kids while working. It ensures that the child will be in the mother’s line of sight while enclosed within the area by their table, keeping them safe. Adjustable seat heights cater to the growing child and cover up the gap, and the child's table can be kept underneath. Bamboo and fabric are also safe for children and the environment.
