Recently, infants and young children are experiencing delays in their development and development of their small muscles amid the rapid increase in media usage, decreased outdoor activities, and excessive competition for learning. In particular, when they encounter problems during the development of formal manipulators, which belong to children aged 2 to 7, 7 to 11, and 11 and older, they experience a decline in their development. We propose KINETO, a modular furniture that can enhance flexible thinking in the process of forming such an important manipulator. KINETO is named after Kinetic, which means "movement." Rather than using static furniture, framed furniture, the focus is on the "action" itself, which allows a child to constantly assemble and change through the "C, H, I, L, D"-type furniture shapes. KINETO basically assembles chairs, hideouts, boards, and desks, and depending on the child's point of view, the boards can become chairs or cabinets. There are no restrictions on children's accidents.
