Nugget was born out of a desire to create an ideal futon for the college dorm room. After designing it, however, we realized we had inadvertently designed something even better for the bonus rooms of our childhoods: durable enough to withstand relentless roughhousing, and customizable enough to build and play with for hours.
Since then, word has spread about our comfy piece of furniture that doubles as the coolest toy in the house. We've been featured on national blogs like Curbed and Fatherly, partnered with retailers like Wayfair.com, and have Nuggets in use at prominent kids museums like Marbles in Raleigh, NC.
The next step in our journey is making the Nugget a staple of the playroom, kids room, and bonus room. From 3-year-olds crawling through a foam tunnel to middle schoolers in need of a homework chair, Nugget encourages and excites in ways that furniture simply hasn't before. We're glad it's here, and we hope you are too.
