I’ve been a fan of Dutch furniture RaFa Kids for a while and love reading what they get up to on their blog.

Agata and Arek are both architects who started designing high quality functional children’s furniture when their two sons Frank and Robert arrived. They received so many compliments and requests for their son’s first bed that they decided to start a small company combining the letters of their family members – RaFa.

Today’s shots are form a recent little summer story Agata created in her studio with fish pillows by Dutch illustrator and textile designer Femke Veltkamp from Windstilte and the RaFa teen bed and stripy bedlinen. The shots are such fun and I love the colour palette and styling.

Reading Agata’s blog their business seems to have really taken off and their beds sell out like hot cakes. I’d love to put an order in for the highly adaptable F&R bed and the gorgeous K desk but will need to wait till our boys are older and we move to a bigger place.

As parents of small boys their design is highly engineered with much thought gone into production, packaging and assembly. Their furniture is made of quality European Birch plywood a flexible material with high strength and is sustainably sourced. It is produced by an established Polish company and using the latest computer numerically controlled technology they produce with great material efficiency trying to reduce waste to virtual zero.

Impressive values for a small company and I just hope they’ll still have some beds left when I get to put my order in.
