Studio Huske

Freedom to explore, one spill at a time

It all started as a shortcut, as a life hack. Kate, passionate about design, but also change and improvement, realized that the quality and performance of this material is beyond all other protective surfaces. In this way, she can improve the efficiency of daily tasks for the parent significantly.

Like all the best product stories, it started with a very personal need.

This huske product range is a personal problem-solver that emerged out of the confines of the pandemic. Daily life was consumed with balancing seemingly relentless and repetitive household chores. Kate was also preoccupied with the endless challenge of keeping her two toddlers entertained indoors, without depending on screens.

When kids are small the quality of your home environment is everything, it's where you spend the vast majority of your time. It's a series of interlocking spaces that have to respond to very different needs. On the one hand, the living space is a haven a place to decompress and shake off the day. Yet, during the day it has to function as a rough and tumble play space for little ones.

High performance soft-textured material

Huske’s brand DNA is grounded in the belief that both functions can co-exist. Adult spaces don't need to be compromised my a child's needs or vice-versa.

Which means, no playmats with gaudy frog prints on them, no designing down for children. But rather a minimal high-performance tactile underlay for play, which allows the toys themselves be the focus. The mats are designed to support and enhance sensory perception and not overstimulate. The role of texture, colour and the sensory perception of a space are just as important for our well being at any age and stage.

Huske products celebrate the transformative power of colour and texture to enhance our surroundings and ignite imagination. Huske products are built to last. They're designed to be used and reused over the scope of many years, with their functionality limited only by your imagination.

The textile has a Korean Eco label, which means clean production, with no off-gassing or odors. It's also certified Oekotex 100/1, which is the highest possible standard for babies. The core materials are sourced within Korea and produced in small batches by a medium sized manufacturer with an impeccable track record.
