Filibabba: Creating a child’s universe Made with a child’s perspective in mind, with parental experience and an acute eye for design and quality, this environmentally and socially mindful GOTS-certified company aims to engage children in the world they live in: both the physical space of their own rooms, and the materials they encounter every day.

In 2015, Filibabba founders Christian Bendtsen and Lasse Rolighed Olesen introduced the baby nest to the Danish market: a pillow that lets newborns feel as safely nestled in the outside world as they did when they were inside the womb. Since that first collection launched, the company has gone from strength to strength. They continue to design and develop baby products and children’s interiors that are sustainable, resilient and beautiful, all of them ideal items with which to frame the first few years of a child’s life. 40 | Issue 138 | January 2022
Filibabba helps to create a space where a child can grow, play and learn, making the whole room a place in which they feel at home. And everything they do, and the way they do it, is done out of a profound love and respect for the environment and the people around them. From a child’s point of view “We create our designs from the children’s point of view, based on how they see and sense the world around them,” explains Henny Møller, brand manager at Filibabba. “But we also want the parents to enjoy our designs.”
While quality is crucial for the products to endure being handled repeatedly by children, they are also beautiful to look at, too. The key for Filibabba is to create striking and durable items that children can relate to; things that inspire, soothe and entertain them, and perhaps educate them a little in the process. Great care and consideration go into every piece they design, ensuring that they stay The Little Sailor baby nest from the spring/summer ‘22 collection.
