L'Oiseau Bateau is a whole world made in childhood country. The company was created in 1994 by a couple,
Catherine and Philippe. They named it after the two first words spoken by their daughter Carla: oiseau (bird) and bateau (boat).
L'Oiseau Bateau is famous for its unique and colorful collection as well as for its inventiveness. For 13 years the company has designed and produced its own models. Catherine designs the collections and Philippe manages the company. L'Oiseau-Bateau aims to create original, useful and funny models for the child, with a great deal of poetic inspiration: ferries, flowers, clowns, dancers, elves. The company draws its inspiration from the child, both Sorcerer and Magician, capable of the sweetest smiles and the most destructive storms, a sometimes devilish being with an angel's face.
All the products are handmade, most of them in the Valence workshop in Provence. 5 people work in the sawing workshop, 15 in the whole company. The quality of fabrics is a top priority to L'Oiseau Bateau as well as the products safety. The pigments used to dye are natural and the products are conforming to European safety regulations.
L'Oiseau-Bateau is distributed all over Europe and also exports some of its collection abroad.
