Creative Chalkboard Furniture

Land of Nod's Neon Table Decor Boasts an Erasable Drawing Surface

— October 19, 2015 — Art & Design
Land of Nod's chalkboard furniture range includes this fun children's table that encourages creativity and collaborative play. Designed for the budding artist, this table comes in two fun styles -- a neon blue and neon pink.

In addition to its modern frame, this table boasts a chalkboard surface top that is ideal for drawings and doodles. Easily erasable, the chalkboard furniture piece is perfect for playrooms and eliminates the possibility of unwanted wall drawings and furniture scribbles.

As parents grow more immersed in modern technology, their children are also becoming exposed to it at a young age, making creative and outdoor play rarer. This children's table encourages kids to evolve artistically and replaces too much screen time with creative and collaborative play.
Trend Themes
1. Reviving Creativity - The Land of Nod's chalkboard furniture range taps into the growing trend of reviving creativity in children by providing a platform for artistic expression.
2. Interactive Furniture - The use of chalkboard surfaces on furniture is an example of the trend towards interactive furniture, allowing children to actively engage with their surroundings.
3. Screen Time Reduction - The neon table's focus on creative and collaborative play aims to address the trend of reducing screen time for children, providing a healthy alternative for entertainment.
Industry Implications
1. Furniture Manufacturing - Chalkboard furniture opens up new opportunities for furniture manufacturers to create interactive and customizable pieces that cater to children's creative needs.
2. Childcare and Education - The concept of chalkboard furniture can be adopted by childcare centers and educational institutions to enhance creative and collaborative learning environments for children.
3. Toy and Game Industry - Integrating the concept of chalkboard surfaces into toys and games can create new disruptive innovation opportunities in the toy industry, combining traditional play and artistic expression.
