Finley Playscape

Thesis Work

Winner of “Friends of Fibre Award”

Finley is a children’s bedding set designed to open up the possibilities of an everyday object. It is made to inspire imaginative growth within children by creating an abstract playscape for storytelling and pretend play. Finley is a gender-neutral product range that includes a duvet set, pillows, mix and match pyjamas and a stuffed toy Finley, all of which act as starting points to spark a child’s imagination when using the bed as a play surface. The duvet set features a pop-up tent further enabling a sense of independence and ownership of space for the child. The abstract landscape of print and interpreted textures allow for the possibility of free play without boundaries.

Finley recreates the fort-building experience, making it easier to provide intimate play space providing the opportunity for ownership over the space, resulting in free play without boundaries. It is designed for city dwellers with less space and conscious minds. The Finley textile collection is made from hand-printed, 100% organic cotton material, as well as recycled polyester felt joints and FSC wood tent poles.
