ASB alumna and renowned textile designer Lorena Canals '79 and her two daughters, founders of the natural teethers and textile toy brands, Oli&Carol, Olympia '11 and Carolina '16, have collaborated for a first time as a family business to present a collection of children's home decor textiles. The collection, which conveys environmental respect, hopes to encourage a healthy lifestyle in children from an early age with its vegetable-based designs to prompt child interaction in a Montessori fashion.

Adding to this collection is a handcrafted touch & feel fabric book for little ones' to play with from 3 years of age. With this very first edition, Lorena sets foot in the world of children's publishing with a book entirely bound in the same cotton canvas fabric used as a base for its washable rugs and Oli&Carol's DIY textile toys.

All in all, this family collaboration collection not only advocates for children's healthy habits but also provides new forms of indoor playtime, based on role-playing, sensory stimulation, board games, and reading, all of which nurture education while making kids' spaces cozy and keeping them busy at home!
