Our mission is to craft high-quality
children’s furniture.
Our vision is to help inspire play and imagination in the lives of children.
Our company began with a simple idea. We were intrigued with the concept of combining the play features of wooden toys with the functionality of traditional children's furniture. We imagined children interacting with our designs like a large, wooden toy, yet that furniture would also serve a practical purpose, such as a seat, bookcase, or desk. With this kernel of an idea, we have dedicated ourselves to crafting children's furniture that embodies this first idea.
It was also in the early days of the company that we chose to use only high-quality materials for our furniture designs. Much of today’s children's furniture is made from inexpensive and inferior particle board-type materials that do not hold up over time. Our furniture is made from Baltic Birch plywood, a material revered by generations of Scandinavian furniture makers for its strength and beauty. We proudly follow in their footsteps.
Our company has evolved since those early furniture sketches and prototypes. We have created a secure, unobtrusive fastening system and moved to a larger production facility equipped to build our designs. As we continue to grow and explore new designs for our young customers, we will remain dedicated to our mission of creating high-quality furniture that is both fun and functional.
