On 6th July 2021 Whimsy Castle featured in the group ‘Fun Loving Mums’ and we had the opportunity to introduce three of our favourite products, ‘Ba’, ‘Da’ and ‘Bou’ by the German-French design label bada&bou. ‘Ba’, ‘Da’ and ‘Bou’ are not only beautiful to look at but are also very versatile and may be used either to play with or as a unique piece of furniture to decorate a nursery or kid’s room.

Let’s meet these playful animal characters
‘Ba’
‘Da’
‘Bou’
We think that these three animals make the perfect gift – each one is handmade in Italy and comes with its own personal ‘birth date’ tag which makes your little one feel as though he/she is adopting his/her very own pet!!
‘Ba’
is a rocking whale with a smooth & anti-slip underside for silent and smooth rocking. It may also be used as a pouffe when you just want to chill out. With its cute shape and cozy padding, it quickly becomes a popular family member for everyone.
‘Da’
is a cute rabbit with an inflatable ABS ball inside perfect for bouncing and jumping around or as a seat to read or draw. Thanks to his three paws (or rather, the two paws and the tail), your friend will not roll away and patiently stays upright to offer you a cozy place.
‘Bou’
is a friendly elephant with a seat which can be used to read in or store some toys…..it also has four recessed wheels and is happiest when being pulled from its trunk around a room!! You can comfortably sit down for a round trip or read your favorite book. Or take all your dolls and stuffed animals on board for a walk and pull “bou” behind you. When it’s time to go to bed, your little friends and other secret treasures are in good hands.
So, who is behind this fabulous furniture & toys design label?
The journey of “bada&bou” began a few years ago when Olivia Herms became a mother for the first time. As a successful industrial designer, she previously worked for world famous designers and architects between Paris, Stockholm and Munich. With her demands, as a mother and designer, she wanted to enrich children’s lives with high-quality, durable and beautiful objects. After a long development period during which her own children were both her source of inspiration and testers of the products, she launched her label bada&bou at the end of 2019.
In Olivia’s words:
“For me, the boundaries between furniture design and toys are flowing. My goal is to create playful objects of lightness and elegance with a meticulous eye.”
