Littlephant, my love

To continue on the series of great Scandinavian design companies / brands, I would now like to take you to the world of Littlephant.

Littlephant is created by the talented designer and illustrator Camilla Lundsten from Sweden. The products are cheery in their design and character, but calming and watercoloury in their choices of colours - or on the contrary clean-lined and simple black and white patterns.

I love them. My daughter loves them.

The photo is quite poor in quality, but there she is, admiring her prints which I ordered form the Littlephant webshop suring the summer (and framed them with Ikea frames).

Littlephant delivers to many countries and currently has a free delivery to Europe and Asia for all orders over 60€.

They also have published their catalogue for 2015. It is available here: http://littlephant.com/wp-content/uploads/LITTLEPHANT_CATALOGUE_2014_UPDATE_031014.pdf )

These are my favourite products from them so far.

 

I really like the prints - which is probably obvious looking at the photo above. But the choices were not mine, nor was the placement of the prints, it was my daughter´s. I believe in letting children create their own spaces. For the most part, I think simplicity is a key because innately kids have a wild, untamed imagination and I think giving them pre-thought concepts in their own rooms only hinders the use of their mind. And I believe in functionalism, too. And that means easy-clean surfaces and durable materials, but also coziness. Kids are entitled to have good quality items, too. Things they enjoy looking at or wrapping themselves into or around. Something that gives them comfort. My daughter chose the three posters in the first photo by herself. She had other prints to choose from, but I guess these just spoke to her. Personally, I really can see why.

Crocheted bean bags and toys. If I had a baby, I would....!

As I told you before

Littlephant also co-operates with Bemz, which means that you can have your very own (Ikea) sofa or chair upholstered with a Littlephant fabric. I will let you in on a secret - I soon will too! :)

What do you think? Would Littlephant fit your home?
