The children’s ideas and interesting thoughts became the starting point for Marta when she designed AFTONSPARV. A matching collection that can ignite imagination and play in everyday life with cuddly space friends, textiles, lamps – and a rocket made of cardboard! “It’s big enough to fit several children, and best of all: the only thing they need to travel to new exciting places is imagination.” Some of the planets may be inhabited by aliens, several children suggested. “They had so many thoughts about aliens and how they might look. Most of the time, they were kind, and so are our aliens.”

Rocket shipPeterMy sons loves spending time inside the rocket. We put pillows and some lights inside he loves spending time in there with his iPad.
Amazing Design and Very Well Priced! AnnaI’m so impressed IKEA would sell something like this. For $25, it’s the coolest space ship out there! Such a great idea and highly recommend!
Cute cardboard houseElaineEasy to assemble.
Out of this world!WendyAn excellent birthday day present for my young niece! I’ve been dubbed the cool aunt! She loved it and I hope she has many playful times in it. Remember, it is very large, so double check the measurements to make sure it will fit in the space you have. A gtreat plaything that is recyclable when/if the time comes!
Little Minds at Work !VirginiaIt was incredible to see my grandchildren's faces light up when they saw their new spaceship.
For the next hours their imagines were in high gear, and they enjoyed a picnic lunch from McDonald's..
Let's build a rocket shipAshleySuch a fun addition to our playroom. Super easy to set up and will be just as easy to fold up and store away when we rotate the toys.
Fun!EvaSuch a fun make believe rocket! Also a reading nook and hideaway place for my toddler. 1 year old also loves to crawl in and out. Its also very sturdy- albeit a little larger than expected :)
super cute and well madeGolsaI got this for my 4 years old son and 2/5 years old nephew for christmas and it was a big hit
Not a sturdy design BanafshehNot east to out it together and it falls apart with a touch
The whole collection is adorable!LauraA space room was created of the entire collection for my great nephews as a surprise. I wish you could see the video of their reaction- they love it!
Great buy!LaurenWe love this rocket ship! We have it in our toddler boys’ (2yrs and 3yrs) bedroom in a corner. We reinforced the inside slats with duct tape but overall the structure is very sturdy. We have not had any issues with overly sharp cardboard as mentioned in a previous review. It’s adorable, great quality, and an insanely low price. Honestly I see no reason not to recommend it.

Story
Space is infinite – just like the imagination
With the AFTONSPARV collection, we invite children to the largest playground ever. Space. An exciting, mystical and inspiring world with lots of room for creativity.
You probably did it as a child too: gazed into endless sky and fantasised about what is out there among all stars and planets. Maybe it’s something children always have done, just like the children between ages 3 and 7 who participated in one of our workshops before we started working with AFTONSPARV. “We were surprised by how much knowledge the children had about our solar system and space”, says designer Marta Krupińska. “But, since science hasn’t discovered everything there is to know about space, there’s also lots of room for fantasy and own thoughts.”
A space rocket that runs on imagination
Fall asleep to glistening planets
When the space rocket is back on Earth and playtime is over for the day, it’s time to wind down and get ready for bed. The adventures can continue in the bedtime story and the dreams. Because when the light is turned off, the planet pattern on the AFTONSPARV curtain will glow. What was that? Maybe a spaceship full of friendly green aliens. Or a shooting star, so you can make a wish.
Form design process
Created together with children
Children are the most important people in the world and we’re curious to hear what they have to say since we create products for them! Therefore, we invite children to creative and playful sessions where they get to participate in our product development. Here they can express themselves freely and draw, show or tell us what is important to them. Their opinions matter and make our products better. After all, they’re the experts!

Designer thoughts
“When designing for children, I let my inner child take the lead. So I got in an imaginary space rocket with my design team and we flew away on an adventure. Before the trip we met enthusiastic children who told us everything about what we would encounter among the stars ¬– and assured us that aliens are nice creatures. I hope that the discoveries we brought back to Earth will go hand in hand with the unlimited imaginations of children and their vast knowledge of space."
