A EUROPEAN & CREATIVE FACTORY DEDICATED TO KIDS’ FURNITURE

Founded in 1987, Mathy By Bols is a leading Belgian-based design company dedicated to modern furniture for kids. Mathy By Bols is proud to debut its collections and unveil its dreamy universe for the first time in the US this year at WantedDesign Manhattan and WantedDesign Brooklyn.

Produced by Jules Mathy and distributed by Jean Marie Bols, the creative factory became Mathy By Bols in the summer 1987. Since 1992, Jean-Marie Bols has taken over the reins of the factory and over the years the company has succeeded in creating inspired collections combining style and eco-friendly high quality manufacture.

THE CREATIVE FACTORY

From its very inception, Mathy By Bols has collaborated with passionate designers of European frame preferring background diversity to imagine universes for all children minds. The designers’ eclecticism and innovative spirit of Mathy By Bols lead to remarkable collaborations and rewarded creations from acclaimed designers such as:

Alain Gilles named Designer of the Year in 2012 by the prestigious Interieur Kortrijk Fair and the minimalist Vessel Collection.

François Lamazerolles, winner of the Discovery Award at Maison et Objet 2008 in Paris with the magical Treehouse bed collection and designated Product of the Year 2013 by the Archi Products with the adventurous Tent bed collection.

David Enthoven, eco-efficient designer par excellence, winner of the Balthazar Innovation Award at the Furniture Fair 2013 for the Fusion collection.

THE ECO-DESIGN FACTORY

Over the years, Mathy By Bols has supported sustainable development policy that reflects in both business operations and choice of materials.

Every Mathy By Bols piece is made of solid wood from Scandinavia and hand crafted by master carpenters dedicated to give life to functional furniture with impeccable fabrication respectful of the designer’s original idea.

Finishes are exclusively water-based solvent-free lacquers hand-applied by dedicated artisans and are available in more than 50 different color-lacquered and natural colors. We believe that eco-friendliness is just as important as safety and health, thus effectively preserving your child and our workforce as well.

When Mathy By Bols designs furniture, each and every component involved in the process is explored, from products selection, to methods of assembly, packaging and transportation. Such a system ensures to optimise durability and minimise environmental impact, reaching the highest eco-friendly production level in the industry. Each timber is PEFC certified (sustainably managed forests).

Furthermore, Mathy By Bols ambitions have grown from regional European market to global. Over the years, the factory has expanded business to Asia and The Middle East without ever compromising on quality and innovation.

In this respect, we are delighted to invite you to discover our most iconic pieces at WantedDesign, as part of NYCxDESIGN, the New York City celebration of design.
