CasaKids

Specialties

CasaKids designs and builds modern lofts, bunk beds, cribs, desks, storage units and custom rooms for kids. All of our furniture is built in Brooklyn by our own small team of woodworkers.

History

Established in 1992.

Since its founding in 1992, CASAKiDS has embraced a simple approach to its designs: functionality above décor and durability over most everything else. We achieve longevity in our products by building adaptable systems of furniture that are designed to evolve just as kids do. Once a child grows out of his or her loft bed, for example, the cabinets underneath the loft can be moved and used as independent pieces. None of the rooms we design are themed so the furniture will never appear dated or outgrown.

Founder and designer Roberto Gil was born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina and worked as an architect for Fox & Fowle and Agrest and Gandelsonas Architects in New York before starting CasaKids. Roberto’s colorful pieces were soon seen in the windows of Barneys New York, FAO Schwarz and in the museum shops of the Whitney Museum, the Guggenheim and the MoMA.
