Kids today spend more time in front of a screen than under the sun. And it’s not their fault. Modern life has gradually pushed outdoor experiences to the sidelines. But deep down, we all know—though we may forget—that nothing compares to the freedom of playing outside: fresh air, natural light, moving bodies, expanding minds.
At Garbar, we advocate for a return to a more connected, spontaneous and vibrant childhood. Our tool? Design. The perfect excuse? The Jan and Julieta sets—two furniture collections made for kids, both indoors or outdoors, designed to fuel their imagination.
Furniture made for playing, imagining and growing
Spaces shape experiences. Creating a little corner for kids in the backyard, on the terrace, or on the patio starts with observing: How do they move? What makes them laugh? What calms them? That’s exactly what we focused on at Garbar. Do they love to draw, sculpt, or cut and paste? A table from the Jan or Julieta set can become their art studio.
Do they love hosting tea parties for their dolls or inviting friends for outdoor snacks? The chairs—available in four cheerful colours—give them a place of their own to begin the ritual. How about an afternoon of storytelling under the open sky? Or board games, puzzles or building blocks in the fresh air? Maybe a mini science lab with water, magnifying glasses and leaves from the garden. The possibilities multiply when there’s a space that invites them to stay.
Made from polypropylene (and also available in a Recycled option crafted from recyclable materials), this kid-friendly furniture is lightweight, stackable, weather-resistant and easy to clean. Designed to awaken their creativity—and all the juice spills, paint smudges and joyfully chaotic afternoons that come with it.
Spaces designed for them
But beyond its practicality, Garbar’s proposal carries a strong meaning. Jan and Julieta are saying: this space is yours too. It belongs to you. And it deserves to be designed with you in mind—at your scale, height and curiosity pace.
Creating outdoor spaces for children isn’t just about physical health; it also helps boost immunity, improve vision, support the metabolism, and encourage vitamin D production. It’s also about emotional well-being. Kids need places to run, sit, get messy, watch the clouds and dream up stories—places without rush, where they can simply be themselves. And sometimes, all it takes is a table and a few chairs. Discover them at Garbar.es/en.
