Buying baby furniture, when done right, can be an excellent exercise in futility and madness. No sooner have you found the perfect child-size chair than the clock starts ticking on how long your tiny-tot can use it. No such worries with limited edition Fijian Baby Zaishu stool. It's a multitasking decorative object that can serve as a seat, table, storage bin, and eventually a conversation piece. Hand-painted and silk screened, the zaishu is sustainably produced locally in Fiji and is intended to promote the TribeWanted project, an eco-community tourism program in Vorovoro. All proceeds from the zaishu will be contributed to the Mali District School for arts and sustainability programs. Available at Reform School.
