Luxury furniture that embodies children's dreams

It is common for children to create imaginary worlds in their bedroom, with a pillow as a desert island, and the bed as a pirate ship. But the Portuguese brand Circu, specializing in luxury furniture for children, has made these fantasies a reality:the “Magical Furniture” range includes a whole host of objects that would make any toddler dream. The “Little Mermaid” bed, for example, is directly inspired by the Disney cartoon, with its giant shell shape (which can be closed!) and its green interior light. Magical, of course, but the price brings you down to earth:it takes €15,000 to purchase Ariel's case!

A bed-van over €40,000

Even more impressive, the hot-air balloon bed/sofa inspired by the work of Pixar Up . And it is better to have space at home, because the object is 3 meters high! It is equipped with drawers and decorated with white faux fur as well as handmade ropes, which partly explains its value of… 27,000 euros! But it's not the most expensive "magic piece of furniture" in the collection:the Bun Van at over €40,000 breaks all records (and is even more expensive than an authentic van!). Inside, a bed, storage space, a television, a sofa and even a mini-bar… to store milk cartons?

A mirror with integrated TV

In the rest of the range, there is a giant mirror in which is inserted a television screen, a rocket-shaped armchair inspired by Toy Story or an airplane type bed found in Indiana Jones . Circu would have sold about thirty objects so far, the majority of which in the United States. Although the pieces are incredible, the gift idea seems as unreasonable as the prices... We will abstain for this time!
