From woom children’s bikes to poptop children’s furniture
More than 10 years ago, Christian Bezdeka and Marcus Ihlenfeld realized that products offered on the market for children are often just miniature versions of products for adults. With woom the two launched their first children’s bikes on the market in 2013, which were perfectly adapted to the needs of children. Today, woom is one of the largest children’s bicycle manufacturers in the world.
There is also a need to catch up when it comes to children’s furniture. Although there is a wide range of children’s furniture on offer, there are hardly any products that respond to children’s natural urge to move and promote their self-determination.
With poptop, the two woom founders, together with John Brady as Managing Director, are now developing children’s furniture that helps to master this challenge. The easy adjustability allows children to decide for themselves whether they want to work in a squatting, sitting or standing position.
Soccer star Thomas Müller is also on board as an investor who strongly believes in poptop’s mission.
Behind the management is of course a more than motivated and experienced team. Together we are revolutionizing the children’s room. For an independent and creative generation of tomorrow.

Why are we rethinking children’s furniture?
If you look around furniture stores, many things for children seem like a mini version of the adult world – practical, but rarely really suitable for children. Our co-founder and designer Christian Bezdeka wants to change that. With every design, he asks himself how furniture can give children more freedom, independence and room to play. This is how poptop children’s furniture was created: contemporary, well thought-out and made to accompany children in their development and give parents long-lasting pleasure.

Quality That Doesn’t Happen by Chance
At poptop, we focus on quality, ergonomics and child-friendly operation. Right from the product development stage, we make sure that every detail makes everyday life easier for children and parents – from the first sketch to the finished piece of furniture.
We carefully select our suppliers and partners. Not only do they meet our high quality standards, but they also provide fair working conditions and are committed to sustainable manufacturing processes.
