Art City

Art City is a little city where bunnies wave from balconies, mice ride a steam train and a squirrel keeps the corner shop. Every building is soft and round, a tribute to Gaudí's curving architecture. Now on the Minky Warm Blanket and the Summer Cooling Blanket.

Art City · a new theme

Every window,
a friend.

What Art City tells a child

Three little things to grow up with

  1. The world is kind.

    Neighbours wave hello, send love notes across the street and share ice cream on the corner. Kindness is the first thing you give and the first thing you get back.

  2. There is a window just for you.

    Bunnies, bears, mice, cats and a squirrel live side by side in pink, yellow and blue houses. Every window is different, and every one is home.

  3. Big adventures, soft landings.

    Helicopters, balloons, sailboats and steam trains: there is always something new to see, and always a soft, round home to come back to.

“Round shapes feel safe, like a hug. That's why they are perfect for babies.”

THE DESIGNER OF ART CITY

THE STORY BEHIND ART CITY

A walk past Gaudí's buildings, a box of markers and a lot of little animals. Watch how the soft curves of the city became a print made for the smallest hands.

A bedtime game for Art City

Find a friend tonight

Spread the blanket out, pick one window, and ask a little question together.

  • Who is waving hello? Can you wave back?

  • Where is the little train going today?

  • What would you share at the squirrel's shop?

  • What can you see from way up high?

  • The boat is sailing home. Who is waiting there?

Goodnight, Art City. Goodnight, friends.

Every child chooses their own story. This one is about friends.
