But what is it about the oceans that fascinates and engages children worldwide – even children that live hundreds of kilometres from the coast? “The deep seas and their inhabitants have always been part of myths and stories that we tell each other,” says Barbie. “It’s a world of its own under the surface, something mysterious and exciting that brings the imagination to life.”

Product details
Your child sleeps well all night since the cotton/viscose mix absorbs and transports moisture away, which helps the body maintain a comfortable and even temperature.
The percale-woven fabric feels soft and crisp against your child's skin – made for beautiful dreams and a good night's sleep.
The zipper keeps the duvet in place.
The zippers on our children's products have no pull tabs. This makes them safer for small children, but just as easy to open for older children.
Easy to keep clean; machine wash hot (60°C).
Goes nicely with other products from the BLÅVINGAD collection.

Story
Dive down into a world of wonders
Surfing dolphins, curious turtles and playful octopuses. The big deep sea is an enchanted world that triggers the imagination. It inspired us to create the BLÅVINGAD collection. Working with the project, we also realized that many children are worried about the oceans and their inhabitants.
“Children are engaged and well-informed about the pollution of the world’s oceans and how it affects the animals that live there. They want to do something about it and encourage us, adults, to do the same,” says child psychologist Dr Barbie Clarke. She regularly participates in the work with our Kid’s Advisory Panel, where we interview children in different countries about their opinions on various topics.
Mysteries below the surface
Discover the world
Stories, games and movies about life in the deep sea give children access to a world that is different from their own everyday life. “When children are between 3 and 6 years old, they fantasize the most, and when they get a bit older, they want to learn facts and understand how the oceans work,” says Barbie. She adds that when children are absorbed by something, it’s more than a game; they forget their worries, explore the world and broaden their horizons – just like a giant blue whale that floats off to explore the sea.
Designer thoughts
Designer thoughts
When creating the textiles for the playful BLÅVINGAD collection, I imagined a magical underwater world where animals have their own personalities and everyday lives. I hope that my patterns spark your imagination and create a curiosity to know more about underwater life – and a desire to take care of our oceans and all that live there. Personally, I love blue whales, and the bedlinen where they’re swimming around in a crystal-clear ocean is my favourite. Which is yours?
