Philosophy and design

At Cocolitos we know that every motherhood and every approach to parenting is different – and never easy. Raising a child involves a huge cognitive effort and a constant flow of decisions aimed at their wellbeing. From researching, comparing and adapting, to putting things into practice… and hoping it all works out!

We want to offer a sense of calm to the families who choose our designs: our quality standard is born from creating objects for our own children and testing that they perform 100% in the daily family jungle. We never compromise: safety, sustainability and aesthetics are the foundations of everything we do.

Our wish is that Cocolitos objects become your children’s favourites – pieces they love and use with care for many years.


Design principles


  • Education and respect: Toys, furniture and textiles for children inspired by Montessori and respectful parenting methods.

  • Autonomy and creativity: Educational products that nurture independence, sensory exploration and imagination.

  • Slow design: Creations made slowly and mindfully, to fill homes with affection, calm and joy.

  • Circular economy: We optimise eco-design to extend the lifespan of every object and reduce waste.

  • Inclusivity: We promote an open and inclusive aesthetic, exploring new approaches to gender.

  • Plastic-free with awareness: Before resorting to plastic, we carefully evaluate sustainable alternatives. We only use it when it provides real, safe benefits – such as the fasteners on our bibs – and never for quick-fix solutions that create short-lived products and unnecessary waste.


Materials and production


  • Child Health and Safety: We work with national suppliers and certifiers to guarantee the highest standards and full material traceability.

  • Local and artisanal production: We collaborate with workshops in and around Barcelona, supporting the local economy.

  • Resource optimization: Our designs aim to minimise material waste during production.

  • Sustainable and certified materials: We prioritise locally sourced wood and cotton, always certified to ensure they are 100% safe and toxin-free. Every component is chosen according to these same criteria.

  • Responsible packaging: We minimise packaging and use biodegradable and easily recyclable materials.
