Childhood is an important period of contact with new things. Carefully crafted design and high-quality items are essential for a child's development. Therefore, a high-quality physical environment for children should demonstrate a huge sensitivity to the physical and mental experience of children, from the organisation of the building, to the use of materials.

In this book, HIBINO SEKKEI illustrates its unique and innovative philosophy from three aspects - places for children, elements of places for children (kitchen, restroom, playground, material, colour, etc.) and things for children, such as furniture, uniforms, and stationery.

Taku Hibino, born in 1972 in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, Hibino graduated from Kogakuin University in Tokyo. In 1991 he founded Youji no Shiro within Hibino Sekkei, a brand dedicated to the design of children's facilities. In 2016, Hibino founded KIDS DESIGN LABO Inc., a designing and consultancy company. A year later, he opened "2343," a restaurant which has three other outlets in Kanagawa Prefecture. In 2018, he established a Chinese branch and in 2021, he founded KIDS SMILE LABO, the first nursery run by Hibino Sekkei. Begun as an architectural company, Hibino Sekkei is successfully expanding its business portfolio. Hibino is now the acting CEO and chairman of the company.
