Pink Ship is a children’s bedroom project developed in close collaboration with the child, taking into account their wishes, storage needs and individual ways of playing. In the Netherlands, where living spaces are often limited, making the most of a small bedroom can be a particular challenge. The aim was to create a space that feels playful, cosy and personal, while leaving as much room as possible for everyday play.
Designed for an existing rental apartment, the concept works with the given interior rather than relying on major structural changes or permanent alterations. With the possibility of a future move in mind, the walls were kept white. Instead, the design focuses on a bespoke piece of architectural furniture as the main spatial intervention.
The Pink Ship is a custom-designed furniture piece that makes efficient use of the available space, combining sleeping, storage and play areas in a compact structure. Its elevated bed creates a cosy, sheltered retreat with a view out of the window. Storage underneath makes use of otherwise unused space, keeping the floor clear and leaving plenty of room for play. Its bold pink colour makes a confident statement, giving the room its distinctive character. Removable star stickers add a final touch of magic. Reflecting light during the day and glowing in the dark, they transform the ceiling into a little starry sky.
