Who are Tree of Knowledge?

Tree of Knowledge (TOK) provide a unique and innovative range of services and tools to help children, young people and adults share knowledge with the goal of becoming more enterprising in both education and personal development.
You may recognises the faces of TOK, Alan Burton and Gavin Oattes from their appearance on BBC hit series Dragons Den (see clips here). Peter Jones described the duo as "probably the two best [educators] that I've seen".

4c Design Delivers...

The Peapodo is an exciting, imaginative and inspirational learning tool which not only broke new ground but complimented the established product range already available from Tree of Knowledge. The Peapodo has now sold over 500 units in the pre-school market.

The completion of the 'Peapodo' for Dunfermline based company Tree of Knowledge exemplifies 4c's experience in designing innovative and creative consumer products.
Success...

Following on from the success of the PeaPodo, Tree of Knowledge asked 4c to design the APODO. This product was intended to be a larger more complete system, with over 100 hands-on fun, interactive activities. This was the product alongside primarily featured on Dragons Den.

In Spring 2011, Tree of Knowledge once again approached 4c to update the Peapodo design to meet new demands. As the project nears completion "Tree of Knowledge are massively excited about showing this exciting new resource off to the world. With pre-orders reaching as far as London, team TOK are predicting great things. The new PEAPODO not only looks great, it's easier to use, easier to store and of course more affordable." - TOK Website

Testimonial...

Dougie Clark - Tree of Knowledge Director.

"The team at 4c Design quickly understood the concept we had in mind for 'Peapodo' - their creativity, understanding and vision was key to the development of a very successful product. They ensured the Peapodo met our high standards both functionally and aesthetically.  Working with 4c Design was a thoroughly enjoyable and creative experience from start to finish. We will definitely be calling on the services of 4C Design for our next project. I rate this company very highly and would not hesitate in recommending them to anyone."
4c Design and Tree of Knowledge have formed a strong relationship and share a mutual respect. As a result we are continuing to work with them on new endevers, including the latest peapodo. Tree of Knowledge asked us to look at an alternative Peapodo using a neoprene design. Below is what we came up with...
