Introducing Bamban, the innovative rocking chair that combines the essence of fun, craftsmanship, play, furniture, learning, psychomotricity, balance, and tranquility – all envisioned through the eyes of a child. We are thrilled to announce that we’ve won a prestigious contest, and Kave Home is partnering with us to produce and sell Bamban in their stores.

Designed specifically for children aged one to five years old, Bamban boasts an exceptional durability that can even support the weight of an average adult, thanks to its robust basketry construction.

Every Bamban chair is meticulously handcrafted from inception to completion. Our primary aim is to create a piece that seamlessly aligns with the Kave Home brand identity, particularly within Kave Kids, elevating the significance of basketry in a versatile object.

Taking into account all safety considerations associated with rocking chairs, our product offers a subtle yet enjoyable and, most importantly, progressive rocking experience, ensuring utmost comfort and security.

The underlying goal of this collaborative project with Kave Home is to bridge the gap, foster shared understanding, and communicate the invaluable role of craftsmen as the vital link between designers and the industry. In conjunction with the Kave company, we are working alongside artisans skilled in various materials to design and manufacture a domestic masterpiece. This product celebrates imperfection as a distinctive attribute, championing craftsmanship as an integral element in its design and development, closely involving the artisan every step of the way.
