Tangrams & Tigers

Looking for an original gift? WeekDay Carnival always has something striking and new in store. I have my eye on their meowing monochrome tiger poster and love the handmade, handpainted wooden block set.  A modern take on tangrams, for play* and display, these ten triangles will add a touch of colour and fun to any room without breaking the bank (15 EUR a set).  Simple, stylish and versatile - on my wishlist now!

* not for small children
