Dutch Design Week 2011: best known for his grown-up furniture that would be quite at home in a fairy tale, Amsterdam designer Bo Reudler presents a collection of children's furniture in Eindhoven as part of Dutch Design Week this week. 

The series is made of solid Dutch oak from a traditional wind-powered saw mill.

It comprises a table, chair, rocking horse, wheelbarrow and doll's cradle, constructed from basic shapes that retain the curve of each raw board.

The collection will be auctioned on Ebay and at the Klokgebouw exhibition at Strijp-s this week, to raise money for the World Wildlife Fund.

Dutch Design Week continues until 30 October.

The series comprises a table and chair, rocking horse, wheelbarrow and doll's cradle.

The objects are hand made from solid oak finished with a coating of natural oil and soft colorful footings of woollen felt. The edges of the furniture retain the original curves of the trunk or branch enabling every piece to be unique.

The collection was realized with the generous support of Het Jonge Schaap and Jantien Ranzijn & vdr.
