Rêves de libellule: a mother at the service of young parents
Rêves de libellule was born from the idea of a mother of two children (me, in this case) who was tired of not finding furniture that met her expectations in the shops.
So I decided to create a French-made baby room in wood, scalable, durable and respectful of the environment. My goal: to offer families a complete and ergonomic ecological baby room that can easily be transformed from a baby's room to a teenager's room, without having to buy additional items.
Ideal to make life easier for parents (especially during the first months of baby's life) and allow, in at the same time, children gain autonomy as they grow.
