Mignon-sized lifestyle: brilliant ideas for growing up and playing
Design meets the kids' world, and wonderful things come out of this: little (but great) smart and popular creations, making life more comfortable, beautiful, dynamic, and safer. These are must-haves for the bedroom or play area, the cradle, at school, during bath time, or at the table.
At every edition, this section of Pitti Bimbo has focused on the newest and most future-oriented lifestyle trends. From personal experiences and practical needs, ideas gather creative momentum to reach children and their families.
Here is a wide selection of brands, well-established and emerging ones, filling the world of children with ideas to help them grow, shapes to be loved, colorful and functional inputs to spark the imagination. Impossible to resist.
MOULIN ROTY
For almost 50 years, Moulin Roty has been creating soft toys for children, focusing on emotion and quality. The Après la Pluie collection is now part of Les Petits catalog, with accessories for musical and sensory activities, 100% natural rubber toys, illustrations, and bed linen in three colors and soft and elastic fabrics in certified organic cotton.
DONE BY DEER
This Danish company combines design, innovation, and bold use of contemporary colors. Each Done by Deer item is distinctive and unique. The simplicity and elegance of Danish design make it easy to match with the rest of the interiors. All products are designed in-house in Denmark and tested to meet the strict European safety standards.
JEUNE PREMIER
Hélène Fransen couldn't find the right backpack for her son Ralph, so she drew her first style on her kitchen table in Ostend. It was 2012, and she hasn't stopped since.
The brand she co-founded with her husband now specializes in backpacks designed for children up to 12 years. With their high quality, they please parents, too.
FRANCK & FISCHER
Founded in 2005 by Annemarie Franck and Charlotte Fischer, the brand aims to create objects for mothers and children, accompanying them from pregnancy up to five years. Almost all fabrics are made using only 100% GOTS certified organic cotton, while the wood comes from certified forests, and the packaging is in recycled cardboard.
A LITTLE LOVELY COMPANY
The brand was born out of Judith de Ruijter and Nikki Hateley's - mothers of 7 children! - passion for home décor. Their idea is to create unique objects with a personal and creative touch. From lights to bathroom toys and even lunch boxes, A Little Lovely Company manages to infuse every product with tenderness and joy.
STICKY LEMON
Since 2016, the Dutch brand has made the world of children more beautiful, extravagant, colorful, bold, and sunny. The collections are like little stories to learn and have fun. The new one features a fantastic range of backpacks and small accessories: cases, temporary tattoos, and embroidered brooches with a retro and eccentric feel, thanks to its original and unexpected color combinations.
EBULOBO
These are not just toys but also objects to decorate the bedroom and help children grow. Ebulobo's creations are made to promote development and awareness. Each game pairs with a story with many educational messages. The new collection is a volcano of inspiration, just like Ebulobo, the Indonesian volcano from which the brand takes its name.
KIDDIMOTO
The UK company specializes in balance bikes and features eleven models, both in wood and aluminum and carbon, available in different patterns and colors. A thoughtful range of accessories allows for a coordinated look: helmet, gloves, backpack, and bell. For the sporty ones, there is also a collection of scooters with lights integrated into the wheels.
THE MANHATTAN TOY COMPANY
Founded in New York in 1978 on the idea that children's games can positively influence their future, the brand aims to spark the imagination without electronic interferences. The "Baby Stella" line is a perfect example: rag dolls suitable for ages 12 months and up. The wood used for all the toys comes from sustainable forests.
CHILDHOME

All the furniture, versatile and designed to adapt to children's needs, are made with wood from reforestation.
NIBBLING
The British brand specialized in nursing necklaces, teething accessories, and birth gifts was founded by Canadian entrepreneur and designer Emily Sunderland Sutter. The designs are playful, versatile, and colorful, reflecting Emily's personality and creative background. Nibbling's jewelry is safe to wear with children and stylish enough for a night out or day at the beach.
ROCKIT
Rockit is the perfect accessory: portable, it adapts to any pram or stroller and gently rocks the baby. This innovative tool allows parents to rest do the things they have to while keeping the baby asleep. Ideal for all new parents and perfect for taking a break: Rockit is the portable rocket that will rock every child.
