Happy childhood – better world! bObles is about being present, the joy of movement and the development of motor skills through play. We make multifunctional tumbling furniture in a simple and quality-conscious design, which support children in their motor skill development by appealing to play and movement. We believe in the positive closeness between you and your child. Closeness is a feeling that stays in the body and has a stimulating effect on children’s motor skill development. The joy of movement and the curiosity flourish when children are touched, looked at, listened to and played with on their own terms.
We want to give children the best start in life When children gain body awareness through motor skill development, they strengthen the ability to learn, they feel more confident, and have an easier time interacting with others. The children are better equipped to meet the world as the human beings they are.
the happy development bObles has made five “tumbling icons” that each represent natural and basic elements in children’s motor skill development. The progress from lying on the stomach, to rolling, crawling, standing, walking, jumping and balancing are all central elements and function as the core of physical development. With the icons, it is our ambition to create a playful universe full of movement, which inspires children to use and challenge their body and play, while developing their body awareness. Most of all we want to encourage the joy of movement. This is what we call “The happy development.”
Motor skills and particularly gross motor skills are important for the child’s wonderful development. When we are talking about gross motor skills, we mean the use of the large joints, the basic senses, and the development of basic skills. For the child, the body is simply just the body. But motor skills and motivation, presence and curiosity, play, movement, and excitement are equally important to build body awareness - and knowing your own worth. - Louise HÌrvig, children’s physiotherapist

Tube Get ready to roll!
Tilt from side to side in the Tube or dare to get dizzy rolling all the way around. Catch the Tube on the go or roll the Tube to each other. You can also hide your secrets in the Tube or maybe even yourself and watch the whole world though your own little window. Challenge your ballance rolling back and forward lying on top of the Tube or maybe you dare crawling through the moving tunnel. The bObles Tube is great developing your motor skills. When in upright position, the Tube transforms into a stool or an observation tower. You can also use the two parts together as a round coffee table in a beautiful color combination.

At bObles we strive to do business in a more enlightened way. We wish to take responsibility for our impact on society and the environment. Our furniture is designed in Denmark and manufactured in the Far East. We have a high standard within bObles and when it comes to our manufactures we do not intend to lower it. Therefore, we work with manufactures that comply to our way of thinking in regards to human rights, child labor, regular labor laws, environment and anticorruption. We seek to design products with a long lifespan the can be passed on through the family not only because we strive to create quality products but also because reusing our products are better for the environment. Doing business in a more enlightened way is also about creating awareness on topics – on both local and global level – that need public attention. Therefore, every year we work together with various NGO’s on projects that create awareness on issues concerning children. It can be anything from local projects regarding child safety in everyday life to global projects like fighting transmission of HIV to unborn children. We believe that our company must strive to be a positive influence on both a local and a global level. Therefore, as bObles grows so does our positive impact on society and the environment.
