Lotte Meeuwissen
Children use all their senses to understand the world around them and learn the words connected to it. Lotte Meeuwissen researches the role of the other senses in the visually dominant world we live in. She designs products for children that make space for the curiosity they naturally have for learning. Her work gives children the confidence that they can think and act independently.
