Abstract

The subject-spatial environment of kindergarten children is an integral part of the educational environment. The child's development depends on the subject environment to the same extent to which it does on the adults who are raising them. Storage furniture is part of the object-spatial environment. The present article discusses the functional requirements for cabinet furniture, emphasizing the anthropometric parameters and the figure of the child; the peculiarities of the child's perception; the amount of dimensions and total volume of storage furniture. The most typical storage furniture in the group room is rivet rack shelving along the walls, classified in terms of the objects of storage - from clothes to toys. The functions, types, shapes, sizes and colors of the furniture are analyzed. Emphasis is placed on their advantages. Another focus is placed on the wardrobe as a piece of furniture for storing children's toys. The advantages of this storage method are the ability to store a large number of things due to the variety of niches, compartments, cabinets and shelves. Attention is paid to the toy storage box. The main advantage of this piece of furniture is that it makes play items accessible to children. Any child can reach them, regardless of age, height or individual physical capabilities.
The nursery toy rack is another variety of storage. This option is ideal as storage space for a small number of entertainment items. A dresser is an attribute that contains drawers that store toys. Its main advantage is its small size and compactness with a relatively high level of capacity. Children's furniture must be safe, made of harmless materials. All structural elements must be securely fastened and aesthetically pleasing. Auxiliary furniture must be ergonomic, functional and correspond to the anthropometry of the children. They need to have free access to their toys and books, so in the play area it is necessary to use open cabinets and shelves without swinging or lifting doors. It is good to use furniture of mostly light colors with a matte surface, preferably without shine. The materials used to cover children's furniture must have low thermal conductivity, as well as resistance to hot water, detergents and disinfectants.
The conclusions drawn are useful in the training of industrial design students.
