With their brilliantly simple geometric graphics and bold, bright colours, the super fun animal cushions from Bibu are not only decorative for interiors, they are also a loveable toy, a huggable cushion and a super comfy companion…

the hardest part is deciding which one your child (or you) loves the most!

There is Nito the penguin, Kita the ladybug, Tito the elephant, Fu the cat, Cito the fish, Pempen the frog, Fita the giraffe, Jita the bee, Ito the owl, and Quito the pig…

Made using water based inks, the cushions are the brainchild of designer Yuly Monsanto, who lives in Barcelona, but harks from the Dominican Republic. When her son Max was born, she realized that playing is everything for children and, in an effort to give Max toys that would reflect her own love of travel and design, Yuly started making toys that they could enjoy together. She soon had a collection that was clamouring to be shared with other children too.

So how did they come up with their gorgeous characters? Yuly explains, “We took ourselves on a trip around the world. We dived in Antarctica’s cold waters, we slept through Caribbean nights, we met a magic frog, we ran and danced with a giraffe in the African savannahs, we sang with an owl, we learned to smell the ocean, we laughed and played the guitar with a pig, we tasted manuka honey, we were just kids letting go of our imagination and bringing to life this group of friends who accompanied us along this journey.”  A joyful journey to create delightful creatures!
