What makes furniture sustainable? At a time when many companies greenwash their customers, we transparently tell you our key points about what a Sustainable Furniture Brand means at Rafa-kids. When Rafa-kids started in 2012, it was natural for us to create furniture for kids Sustainably. It’s in the heart of our brand.
A few days ago, we visited a design fair, organized by the Dutch magazine vtwonen. This magazine, it’s not like any other magazine we know. Try to imagine, it’s like visiting different houses, which includes all the spaces like the kitchen, living room, bathroom, and a kid’s space!
Finland has a special place in our hearts because Rafa-kid’s furniture is made from quality Finnish plywood. This country is covered 65% by forests. What makes it unique are the cold nordic winters influencing the trees and give them special qualities.
We make Rafa-kids furniture from premium Finnish Birch plywood. Let’s have a look at how we finish it, so it is durable and stays beautiful for years. Swedish premium water-based lacquer is perfect for this purpose.
If you decide to invest in a minimal, timeless piece of furniture, it will last many years, and you can easily make it personal and style it your way. We designed the H dresser for this purpose but made sure to keep it timeless so that you can use it later, too, when the baby grows.
Many teens nowadays are sensitive to trends. Choosing the right furniture can be challenging, as we do not want them to look childish or un-cool. I believe Rafa-kids’ furniture touches the right spot in their hearts.
My husband hates the huge amount of screws most of the companies send you to build the furniture. This frustration drove us to make the assembly of Rafa-kids furniture stand out from the crowd and not go for cheap and old-fashioned solutions. But what’s the system and what makes the assembly so much easier?
I will try to give you some comfort and inspiration today and share a beautiful place we visited a few weeks ago. Loods5 store is one of my favourite spots in The Netherlands if we talk interior design.
I can imagine that not all of us have the extra room to create a playroom for a child. But if you have a spare room that no one use, I would advise you to turn it into the kids-playroom paradise!
