Wooden stools and bean bags suddenly seem rather inadequate when you compare them to Francis, this quilted, contemporary sofa the entire family would happily adopt. But Mini Eden’s handmade, cotton-upholstered two-seater is decidely down with the kids – downsized, that is. Like the Jasper armchair, it is all part of founder Kaushika Chohan’s aim to shrink design classics. £299. www.minieden.co.uk
