Some ideas stay with us longer than others. At Wood Luck Design, the ruffle became one of them - a detail that gradually grew into the signature of our Babushka collection. The original concept dates back to 2017, and just one year later, the first piece of furniture became a reality. Today, we look back at the beginnings of this project to show how a small design detail can become an important part of a brand's identity.

Some design elements catch the eye straight away. Others gradually become a signature feature over time. In the case of Babushka, it was the ruffle – a decorative finish that softened the furniture and set it apart from simple, geometric forms.

The first designs were created in 2018. From the very beginning, we wanted the detail to be more than just an ornament. It was meant to be an integral part of the furniture, complementing its proportions and colour palette while giving it an individual character.

Babushka did not always look the way we know it today. The first visualisation showed a more raw version of the design, with more pronounced lines and sharper edges. Over time, the concept gained depth, and the forms became more three-dimensional and refined.

It was at this stage that the design began to take on the appearance we recognise in the finished furniture. See one of the earliest versions of Babushka and how its look has evolved.

The ruffle changes the way we perceive a piece of furniture. It softens its lines, adds a decorative touch and gives even a simple shape its own character. In the Babushka collection, however, it is not just an ornamental feature – it is the element that brings the individual pieces together into a recognisable whole.

For us, design is not only about the detail itself, but also about how it complements the form of the furniture and influences the feel of the entire interior. The ruffle draws the eye without overwhelming the design. It can become a subtle accent in a minimalist arrangement or part of a more decorative room. It is this balance between distinctive form and functionality that gives Babushka its unique character.

Interior trends come and go, but we believe the most meaningful designs are those that retain their character over time. At Wood Luck Design, we look for ideas that bring something distinctive to a space without relying on passing trends.

Babushka is a good example of this approach. The ruffle was part of the concept from the beginning, long before it became a more familiar detail in interior design. We have continued to develop it in our own way, making it an integral part of the collection.

The ruffle is the common thread connecting the pieces of furniture in the collection, allowing you to create a cohesive look for your child’s room. You will find pieces that combine decorative appeal with everyday functionality – from storage solutions to furniture that completes a space for rest and play.

From the first sketches to contemporary interiors, the story of the collection is best told through images. The archival designs show where it all began, while today’s interiors reveal how the same distinctive detail works in spaces created today.

01. What makes scalloped furniture distinctive?

Scalloped furniture stands out for its decorative, curved detailing, which adds softness and character to each piece.

As a result, scalloped children’s furniture works beautifully in both soft, minimalist interiors and more decorative spaces.
