25th Anniversary Celebrations Saw Furniture Village Collaborate With Netmums To Find Mini Inventor Of The Future
As part of our 25th anniversary celebrations we challenged Netmums’ (www.netmums.com) users to ask their children to think of new ideas for products that might be used in their homes in the future. Children across the UK got creative, and we received over an impressive 700 entries. Eight lucky children were selected as final winners, and Furniture Village awarded them for their innovations.

“We are glad that so many children have been involved in the competition and it is heartening to see the great level of care and thought that went behind the winning inventions” says Charlie Harrison, Furniture Village’s Marketing Director.
