bObles

Functional and playful children’s furniture and toys

bObles combines Danish design and movement-based play to strengthen children’s motor skills through furniture that invites active fun.

Every piece is made from soft EVA foam that is safe, durable and easy to clean. With simple forms and gentle colours, bObles invites families to move together and discover the joy that lives in every little tumble.

  • The story of bObles began in Denmark in 2006 when architect Bolette Blædel, then on maternity leave, observed the limited range of children’s furniture. She noticed how scaled-down adult furniture failed to meet kids’ real needs for movement and play.

    Driven by this insight, Bolette joined forces with her sister, textile designer Louise Blædel, blending architectural precision with an artistic sense of form and colour. Together, they founded bObles to create furniture that encourages children to rock, roll, balance and build.

    Central to their approach is the choice of materials: bObles uses high-quality EVA foam to ensure durability, safety and comfort during play, combining these material demands with an aesthetic that fits modern homes.

    bObles stands as a child-development-focused brand rooted in Scandinavian design, offering “tumbling furniture” that supports growth through play while adding style and function to everyday family life.

  • From the very beginning in 2006, bObles has had a clear mission: to find a material that invites play while being completely safe for children. We wanted to create something that could embrace both spontaneous, energetic play and quieter moments – and something that would stand the test of time. After exploring a variety of options, we found our answer in EVA foam – a material that not only met our requirements but has proven to be ideal for children’s development, play, and learning.

    In a time where consumption and constant renewal often go hand in hand, EVA foam represents a different approach. A material not just made to be used, but to last – in both form and function. Products made of EVA foam are allowed to grow alongside children, to challenge and inspire them. They endure, becoming part of both a child’s development and the story of the home.

  • Movement and play are some ofthe most important parts of childhood.When children are free to explore with their bodies, they develop motor skills,confidence, and imagination. At bObles, we create tumbling furniture that invites children to rock, roll, balance, and build – all through play. It’s aspace for free play and discovering new ways to move. Because when play takesthe lead, children grow with it.

Safe & functional

bObles products are built with a strong emphasis on both safety and functionality. Made from high-quality EVA foam, they offer a soft, flexible surface that absorbs shocks and reduces the risk of injury during active play.

The non-slip texture supports stable balancing, and the durable construction ensures longevity even under rough use - according to retailers, the pieces “can stand up to kids’ rough and tough play.”

Additionally, EVA foam is widely recognized for its non-toxic and child-safe properties when properly manufactured, making it a reliable choice for furniture and toys in the home.
