Partners

Here are our partners for this website. I could say about each one of them that they are one of my favourites in their own field because I admire and love every single one of their designs. They are very different in the materials, the shapes, the colours they use and yet they all thrive for beauty, originality and high quality. These are the qualities they were selected for.

Here is what they say about themselves:

Paristic

Created in 2007 at the instigation of two Parisian friends, Paristic produces unique collections of 'urban chic' style stickers.

Made today by a graphic designers and illustrators team from the most prestigious art schools and among them world-famous artists, the Paristic stickers decline as many patterns and symbols that provide a true vision of urban life.

A pioneer in the world of sticker, the brand has gained international fame through the details and the excellent finish of its models, all hand made by artisans in Paris.

It's both by the creativity of a contemporary design and the collaboration with leading artists and photographers that Paristic imposes its own signature and reputation.

RoomMate

Playful design by RoomMate

In the spring of 2004, the designduo Chrisitne Schwarzer and Anne Birgitte Balle decided to launch an innovative product line for children, with a goal to create positive and stimulating settings for imaginative play.

RoomMate gives kids the mental and physical space for interaction, fantasy and absortion. The versatile and appealing designs are perfect for self-expressio an creation acros a wide range of ages.

Since children invariably install themselves in every room of a house, RoomMate's products are scaled and colored with other household furniture in mind; so even though they're meant for kids, their charm and quickness sits well in a grown-up enviroment.

RoomMate hopes that children, parents and grandparents alike will be happy to have these products occupy a space in their home.

KIDSONROOF

Dutch design for creative and playful kids and grown-ups!

Back to the source of life! Kidsonroof wishes to re-connect modern life with nature, rediscovering basic values. Kidsonroof offers an ecological approach to the act of playing. Stimulating creativity and imagination lies at the heart of Kidsonroofs products.

Together with their 3 kids and their little friends they manage a permanent testlab where new ideas keep coming up. A few weeks per year they go back to an oldfashioned simplicity when spending time in their little shed in the southern French mountains without electricity or running water.

Ilya has been trained as an architural designer (Marchi in Moscow and Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam). His designs are ingeniously three dimensional and very associative. Romy takes care of the conceptual development and styling.

CALAFANT

The CALAFANT Concept: Let children build their dream (castles)!

A couple of years ago, Boris Schimanski, a well-known cartoon artist in Germany, set out with the intention to keep his kids occupied with something that would hold their attention and imagination long enough for him to finish his current work project in peace and quiet. He took some plain cardboard, drew a castle and punched out the individual pieces. With this building and some decorating material, he was able to incite his children to spend more time in their playroom than in his studio. This was just the beginning.

After his work project was completed, he noticed that the kids were still busy with his cardboard creation. After they built their castle by putting the pieces together, they decorated it with all sorts of things from the house and yard and played with it, along with their little figurines, for hours and hours.

The joy of playing with their self-made toy didn't diminish and more and more friends joined in. This is how the business idea for CALAFANT was born.

Domestic

Run by stephane arriuberge and massimiliano iorio, Domestic introduces collections of objects designed by designers, graphic artists and artists gathered around innovating and new concepts and themes.

Already in 2003, Domestic launched its first Wall Drawings collection and with it, invented what is now called 'wall stickers', a new standard in the world of design and interior decoration. A genuine alternative to wallpaper, Wall Drawings literally hands over to the end user who, invited to convert his interior into an area for expression, becomes the originator of his own decor. More recently, Domestic launched the Narcisse collection which removes the mirror from its setting and its customary codes.

The 2008 /09 catalogue introduces a number of new models of wall stickers in never seen before formats with the Wall Drawings 25 x 25. In one year, about 20 designers have joined Domestic. An astonishing collection, Domestic curated by colette, launched in september 2007, is added to the surprising Domestic by matali crasset, brought in matali crasset and her guests.

Flensted Mobiles

Mobiles are a traditional craft in Denmark, but the modern mobile - as a decoration for the home - was created in 1954 by Christian Flensted and his wife Grethe. Their first design, the Stork mobile, was a great success, and now flies all over the world.
Christian Flensted became known as the "Uromager", a name impossible to translate into English, which means a "maker of things mischievous and always on the move".
Today, their son Ole and his wife Aase continue the tradition, with ideas for new and original mobiles issuing regularly from their "Department of Space Research".
Flensted Mobiles are created so that the elements are in constant motion while the entire mobile maintains a harmonic balance. Each mobile is carefully assembled, and balanced by skilful hands. They are packed so that they are ready to hang.

Georges and Rosalie

Georges and Rosalie is the story of Georges, a wanderer dog, and his friend Rosalie, a beautiful Russian doll. It's a ludic and oneiric universe, a mixture of coloured and printed fabrics, objects with zoological forms and colored faces... It's a funny and poetic world.

Georges and Rosalie is a French trademark of textile objects and accessories for children and women. The brand was born in 2005 and the products are distributed as early as 2006 in shops and conceptstores.
Georges & Rosalie also put their creativity at the service of larger brands or manufacturers in the form of services by designing textile objects, kits or collections.

Guided by their know-how in arts and crafts (embroidery, tapestry, studies in the Duperre Applied Arts School in Paris), both designers Alexandra and Severine decide to work around the mixture of bright colours but also dark colours, less frequently used in the world of children. They also use a mixture of patterns: dots, stripes, flowers... And add their common love of certain worlds and influences: the circus, the folklore, the gypsy culture...
