With the intention of creating a set of toys and furniture made from natural materials, designer Natasa Njegovanovic has created Avila – a collection of simple children’s furniture in the shapes of farm animals that can be used as both toys and functional pieces of furniture.
A desk shaped like a cow, a toy chest in the shape of a pig, stools made to look like cats and dogs, and a pencil box designed to look like a chicken make up the collection of Slavonian farm animal inspired furniture.

The simple design of the animal-shaped furniture provides enough similarities to the real-life counterparts but leaves enough room for children to use their imaginations and turn the pieces into new things that bring their world of pretend to life.

Made mostly from Slavonian oak, the toys were inspired by a time when children played with wooden toys and when nature and animals were the main sources of entertainment of children’s entertainment.
