Who:Babai
What: Button collection: Table & Stool X set
Why:
Judges swooned over this button-shaped table and stool set. The panel praised the curved design of the whole set, with no sharp edges in sight, as well as the simple, tool-free construction. Made to sit beautifully within the home, not just confined to a nursery or playroom, the button set is the perfect place for drawing, homework or a snack, the panel loved that it would create a place for children to call their own, integrated into the wider home.
"Thoughtful design, button-inspired forms integrate children's furniture into shared adult spaces rather than isolating it. Curved safety-first construction, tool-free assembly, and confident bold colour choices show real design maturity."
"Absolutely love this, such a brilliant idea! Love the easy to construct, flat pack design, a joyful colour palette that would suit any home too. Fab!"

Who:Stapelstien®
What:Dynamic - Child friendly seating
Why:
This is seating like no other, the Dynamic impressed judges with its stackable, modular design with endless ways to create fun, sculptural and totally functional forms. The fully open-ended system is made to grow and move with children from their very first months, right through to adulthood, encouraging good posture and core strength as well as imaginative play along the way, a truly thoughtful design with longevity in mind.
"If I could only buy one toy for my children, this would be it. Because it’s so much more than just a toy. It sparks creativity, fuels imagination, and becomes whatever they need it to be a chair, a treasure chest, an obstacle course, the base of a fort…the possibilities are endless. It’s one of those rare toys that grows with their imagination and never seems to lose its magic."
"Stapelstein is just such a brilliant, innovative brand. Amongst the most played with toys in our house. This is such a clever seat."
"Love how it reframes sitting as movement through a self-centering tilt mechanism, addressing real child health data. Multi-role, modular design scales from infancy to adulthood. Strong sustainability credentials throughout. Love the colours and design, very modern and perfect for design centric parents that want tasteful products in their home."
"I love Stapelstein for its multi-use and the way it lets the little minds of your kids inspire how to use it!"
"This is actually genius! Where can I get one?!"
"Great eye-catching product with bold colours. Love this, can't wait to play with all the other styles."
"Big fan of these. I think they are brilliant and such a joyful, fun, sustainable toy! They are next on my shopping list for my two-year-old son."
