The Natural Child World Excellence Awards™ distinguishes itself with an emphasis on eco-excellence. In addition to qualities such as style and performance, they looked at socially conscious endeavors, footprint and ingredients. The modern parent no longer has to choose between style and the environment.

kidsroomZOOM! returns to Milan for the 2012 Salone. The exhibition presents a snapshot of the most innovative and exciting contemporary design and art for children. The exhibition includes more than twenty international artists, designers and companies in one apartment.

kidsroomZOOM! will be held in a new location at via Mellerio 1 in a stunning apartment building dating from the late-1970s. This inspirational setting will be styled to create the perfect house for children: a place in which to play and grow, learn and observe; a place in which little ones can become king or queen of their own dominion.
