my sofa is NOT a jungle gym kid

jennifer delonge an interior designer in carlsbad, calif., has created furnishings for children that are as refined and avant-garde as their parents. forget the plastic-wrap furniture look, ms. delonge's ava club chair, named for her 3-year-old daughter, is covered in synthetic suede [$299.00 US] and has a matching ottoman [$99.00 US]. the pieces also come in cotton and in vintage fabrics. coming in may 2006 delonge will introduce a play table lacquered in colors like lime and tangerine [$299.00 US], with matching stools [$50.00 US each]. my design vision is never going to include spongebob beanbag seating....again.... sponge-who? my kid doesn't watch that stuff. my house is not a romper room.

fyi: the entrepreneurial delonge [wife of tom delonge, lead singer for blink 182 and now angels and airways] honed her design skills creating model homes in southern california and running papier moderne, a high-end stationery shop in solana beach. her trademark style is all about clean lines and bold contrasts, like hot orange with baby blue
