At em billie co, we believe the spaces children grow within should feel nurturing practical & fun.
As the lead designer of em billie co, and a mother of five and grandmother, I understand firsthand how important it is to create spaces that feel safe, comfortable, and supportive for children at every stage.
From early learning centres to school environments, soft furnishings play an important role in how a space feels, functions, and supports the day to day needs of both children and educators.
We create custom pieces designed to bring comfort, practicality, and a sense of calm into busy, well loved spaces.
Designed for Everyday Use
In learning environments, furnishings need to work hard.
Our pieces are created with durability and ease of use in mind designed to withstand daily wear while maintaining their shape, structure, and appearance over time.
From floor cushions and reading nook pieces to bench seating and soft supports, each item is thoughtfully designed for how it will be used.
Our LaySleepPlay Design
Our LaySleepPlay design has been thoughtfully developed to support the natural rhythm of a child’s day from play, to rest, and quiet moments in between.
Designed with both comfort and practicality in mind, these pieces can be tailored in size, shape, and fabric to suit your space and the needs of your centre. Whether used for rest time, floor play, or flexible learning environments, LaySleepPlay offers a considered and versatile solution.
Alongside this, we also create loungers, soft chairs, and bean bags, all custom made to integrate seamlessly into your environment.
Thoughtful Materials & Safety
The materials we choose are carefully considered for both performance and safety.
We offer durable, easy care fabrics suited to high use environments, including options with protective backings designed to help prevent moisture from reaching inserts supporting both hygiene and longevity.
We work with fabrics & closures that align with safety expectations and industry considerations, including those relevant to ACCC guidelines.
At the same time, we prioritise textures and tones that create a warm, welcoming atmosphere because learning spaces should feel as good as they function.
Custom, to Suit Your Space
Every centre and classroom is different.
We create custom pieces to suit your layout, needs, and aesthetic — whether that’s specific sizing, shapes, or fabric selections that align with your environment.
Our goal is to create furnishings that integrate seamlessly into your space while elevating the overall feel.
A Considered Approach
We understand the balance required between practicality, safety, and design.
Our approach is collaborative and thoughtful — working with you to create pieces that support both educators and children, while maintaining a calm and cohesive environment.
