new bed sheets for F&R set in Rafa-kids collection

Do you know that mattresses and bed sheets sizes differ almost per country? 

I did not really pay attention to it for a long time but since Rafa-kids' beds travel to many destinations, I was confronted with a demand for it . So here we go, let's make parents' life a bit easer. We selected basic bed sheets and added them to Rafa-kids' bedding - blankets selection. I actually really like to put many mattresses above each other, and make a nice reading /plying corner for kids. Of course it was difficult not to select many colors, but I think you can easy add color with a nice bedding, pillows, and the bed sheets can stay a calm and basic.

rafa-kids beds in details

 " The details are not the details. They make the design" Charles Eames. 

A famous quote from a designer icon. Rafa-kids put a lot of effort into detailing. Also the ones which you normally don't see. For example bed bases of our beds. You just put a mattress on it, so why you should care, right ? It all started with our F bunk bed. When kids play under the bed, you can actually see the bottom of the bed, and why not make a nice element out of it ? The mattress have to be well ventilated so the composition of holes is not only looking good but is very practical at the same time! Our A teen bed has simpler good looking bed base and you actuallly can't see any joints from outside. This makes the bed looking smooth and elegant.

let's play under Rafa-kids bunk bed !

Forget the time, when a bed needed to be standing in the corner of the child's room! 

We are putting Rafa-kids F bunk bed in the middle of the space and create a playful, cosy and fun room to use. Don't you think that the space under bunk bed is perfect to play and create your child's magic world ? It's not only pleasant to look at, it's actually so great to put it in action! 

And yes, we are a parents of two boys, and  they love cars, and they love to play on the floor a lot and use pillows to make fights!  The dark bed can be actually a very cosy and nice background for all the toys we have in a child's room! 

When you look at my mood board: 

To create this space I wanted to paint one wall in gray color, to calm a bit the dark tone of the bed. Then I used red accents to make it playful. A lot of different pillows, black&white ones to make it a bit graphic. Favorite poster, some boxes for storage and a lot of space to play!  Our boys didn't want to leave the studio when they saw what we made for them, with their toys and books!

Busy silence

It was so quiet here in the last days. You can see where I was ( partly, because my older son was also having school holiday) ….We finally menage to clean the studio!  The first picture is so symbolic for me : the door to our new Rafa-kids challenge  and a ladder to bring us to some other level of our work. 

A lot of things will happen very soon....

studio update

Slowly we are working on our future studio..... 

I find it a bit difficult to run a family life & work and now add extra time to be there. Last weekend part of the ceiling has been removed. The space got immediately so much light! We like it so much! 

I wish Spring will come soon and give us more  warm days and extra energy.
