Japandi Cot Bed Wins Gold for Best Cot Design – Junior Design Awards 2025
Winning Gold, our Japandi Cot Bed captured the judges attention with its perfect balance of style and function. The panel admired how it combines the minimalist warmth of Scandinavian design with the calming simplicity of Japanese influence.
Featuring a light oak frame with woven rattan panels, its timeless aesthetic stood out, while practical touches such as three adjustable mattress heights and the ability to transform into a toddler bed or day sofa showcased the thoughtful functionality at the heart of its design.
What The Judges Said?
Parenting expert and content strategist Gemma Cartwright summed up the judges thoughts perfectly:
“I absolutely love this! After years of white and grey cribs it’s lovely to see something a bit more natural and earthy, and the rattan panels are really lovely. It feels made to last, too.”
Journalist and creative director Lisa Oxenham praised the innovation behind the design, saying:
“A beautifully innovative bed crafted from sustainable bamboo – designed to last from babyhood to beyond. Love that its sturdy frame transforms from a cot into a stylish day bed – it’s a timeless piece for growing children.”
Award-Winning Play Designs: Casa Grande Montessori Floor Bed Wins Gold and Playrama Play Sofa Takes Silver
Winning Joint Gold for Best Interiors Product Design for Furniture at the Junior Design Awards 2025, our Casa Grande Montessori Floor Bed was praised for the way it makes the cot-to-bed transition easier and more comforting for little ones. With its floor-level design, children can climb in and out independently while protective barriers offer reassurance through the night.
What The Judges Said?
Model, actor and podcast co-host Cressida Bonas praised the design, saying:
“This is brilliant. A bed that toddlers will want to stay in. Love that you can hang bunting and fabric on it.”
Deputy Editor of Junior, Eleonore Crompton, added:
“The dream big girl or boy bed! The play house design makes this feel like an exciting upgrade from a cot. There will be no bribes necessary to keep them in it!”
Awarded Silver for Best Creative Play, our Playrama Montessori Kids Play Sofa was recognised for its endless versatility - from forts and reading nooks to sleepover beds. Judges admired its sturdy yet comfortable design, soft jumbo cord finish and easy-care covers, making it a perfect balance of fun and practicality for family life.
What The Judges Said?
Editor of Junior, Bonita Turner, admired its design, saying:
“This stylish couch would look good anywhere in the house. So comfortable and endlessly versatile.”
Stylist and founder of @thelittlestylist, Charlotte Kewley, added:
“The coolest product. So much fun! And again, looks great in the playroom.”
Further highlighting the success of our play collection - the Scala Montessori 3-in-1 Pikler Climbing Frame with Climbing Wall received the Editor’s Choice Award for Best Toy Design (3–5 Years). Celebrated for its sturdy build, elegant finish and Montessori-inspired design, it encourages little ones to climb, explore and grow in confidence while turning any room into a playful adventure space.
Junior’s Editor, Bonita Turner, praised the design;
“This is a beautifully designed piece that encourages movement, confidence, and independence through play. A great way to get kids moving and stretching at home when it’s too wet to go out or they just need to let off steam!”
Tutti Bambini's Cushi Baby Changing Mat also picked up bronze for the best changing product design.
Its stylish and endless practicality was applauded with Deputy Editor Eleonore Crompton adding;
"Practical designs in soft, joy sparking colours. A useful and pretty addition to the nursery that will make life easier for parents through the nappy changing years".
The changing mat has been designed to be placed wherever and whenever you need it, with a wipe clean cushioned surface making clean up a breeze.
