the bObles way

Donuts

bObles was created with the ambition to increase children’s quality of life by designing furniture that encourages movement. We design beautiful, functional, and stimulating furniture in shapes that contribute to children’s motor skill development. We call them tumbling furniture.

We believe that children benefit from moving around and using their bodies as much as possible. By rolling, crawling, walking, jumping, and balancing they gain a happy body. And with body awareness, children have an easier time learning, they function better socially, and they feel more confident.

The story of bObles began in 2006, when Bolette Blædel, architect by profession, went on maternity leave with her first-born child. To her disappointment she found that children’s furniture was inadequate and uninspiring for her son, as most were merely miniatures of adult furniture. Together with her sister, Louise, designer by profession, an idea began to flourish: What if Bolette and Louise could create children’s furniture that would indulge children’s imagination through play while developing children’s motor skills? The idea of the Tumbling furniture and bObles was born. Multifunctional and simple geometrical forms -cut in the shape of animals - setting the spirit and the body of the childfree! Today, the vision is the same; to build furniture for children, that encourage them to play, learn and develop, while at the same time designing furniture with a beautiful danish design for a modern-day family.
