Rafa-kids B Bench: Designed by architects
Rafa-kids is based in the Netherlands, but they’re also active on the international markets. The brains behind Rafa are two architects, and that’s clearly visible! Agata and Arek Seredyn followed a ‘route’ that sounds familiar to us: they were browsing around for furniture for their own kids, but couldn’t find what they wanted. So now they’re making robust, functional and practical tables, dressers, wardrobes, etc. which they love themselves. Maybe it’s because it’s created by two architects, but a wardrobe made by Rafa looks rather like a showcase than a wardrobe!

Made of sterner stuff
The designs are durable, solid and a feast for the eye. What do you think of the B Bench? It’s such a remarkable product with all those layers of wood on top of each other in the corners, all carefully finished. Nevertheless, it’s most of all been designed to be practical and functional. For example, their B Bench was made to enjoy for many, many years. It has the perfect size for children of 3 years old, and goes along till they’re about 8 or 9 years old. Once they’ve outgrown the bench, it still looks great in the hallway or bathroom.
Aesthetic and technical
Furniture of Rafa-kids is made in Poland of the best materials and fulfills all EU safety regulations. One of their favourites is Finnish birchwood and plywood. Everything they design is based on three principles: playfulness, creativity and beauty. Agata takes care of the aesthetic side, and Arek looks after the technical, innovative side. Their furniture pieces seem to float around and look inviting to play with. At the same time, their furniture is extremely strong and well finished. As far as we’re concerned, they make a magnificent couple!
