KidStyleFile’s Bubble London 2009 coverage gets into gear today, with exclusive coverage of one of the most exciting ranges exhibiting at the show: Sebra – www.sebra.dk – a unique Danish children’s interiors collection.
Designed at the children’s level, the Sebra range – including furniture, bedding, toys and other accessories – is bold and colourful with a distinctive Scandanavian feel.
A large part of the collection is handmade, and texture plays an important part in creating Sebra’s distinctive ethos. Utilising crochet, wools, cottons and wood, the range is extremely tactile and begs to be touched.
The Summer ‘09 Sebra collection has a strong focus on colour and imagination, both of which are very important in a child’s universe. Animals as a design feature also play a strong part, with the Sebra design team (led by Mia Dela) reasoning that everyone, both child and adult alike, can relate to animals regardless of their geographical location. Animals have been given form and colour with spots, stripes and large tags in this collection, which creates a fun and appropriately childlike atmosphere.
Sebra’s range of bedding for children also incorporates texture as a key design feature, with the new ranges of bedding including ‘touchy tags’ – large fabric tags of different textures which children can use as comforters during sleep times. The prints featured on the bedding are cheerful and bright, again primarily featuring animals.
In Australia, Sebra is exclusively stocked by Little Me Little You.
