Illusion Leopard Kids Stool in Clear Acrylic Legs by Circu Magical Furniture

Circu has made a name for itself as the premier maker of luxury children’s furniture. It was founded on a dream of creating a magical world for children where they could live their fantasies. The company is owned by the Covet Group and was established in 2014 in Portugal.

Each piece that Circu creates is unique, with its own individual character and charm. Boasting bright pastels and bold primary colors, the company’s imaginative handmade stools, bookcases, storage cabinets and beds are produced with carefully selected materials by Portuguese artisans — a team of expert carpenters, weavers and designers. Each furnishing is made with great care — Circu products are fine-tuned to cater to the curious and adventurous spirits of children, and some pieces take up to 12 weeks to complete. 

Circu’s designs typically draw on familiar forms — while the shapes and structures are sometimes unconventional, each piece is inspiring and adds a charming touch to any space. There are beds that replicate train cars and balloon gondolas, bookcases made to look like big, red rockets and dressers created to appear as unevenly stacked individual drawer casings. Crafted in acrylic, aluminum and stainless steel, Circu’s line of Graphic floor lamps created in partnership with DelightFULL Unique Lamps brings blocky oversize letters of the alphabet into a child’s bedroom for a clever lighting alternative. The company offers chairs adorned with fairy wings and bunny ears, as well as desks in playful shapes, such as airplanes and clouds. 

Headquartered in Porto and Rio Tinto, Portugal, the brand also has locations in Saint-Ouen, a northern suburb of Paris, and in New York City. Circu has exhibited its covetable furnishings at Salone del Mobile Milano.
