If you’re looking for something unforgettably unique and wonderfully whimsical with which to furnish a child’s bedroom, Portuguese furniture manufacturer Circu (yes, their products are available in Canada) offers some spectacular solutions that will make eyes pop and jaws drop, from a charming clamshell bed fit for a little mermaid to a rocket ship armchair that’s out of this world.
Fantasy Air Balloon
This limited-edition bed/sofa will take kids’ imaginations up, up and away. Inspired by Disney’s “Up” and the hot air balloon in “Around the World in 80 Days”, this bed can be customized to suit either a boy or a girl; as they get older, the bed can easily transform into a sofa suitable to a teen.

Removing the “balloon” makes the item less whimsical but no less attractive, and boasts some impressive storage capacity thanks to several built-in drawers made hidden in the wonderful wicker work.
Bun Van
Described as a “bed reinvented,” this is a child’s bed and then some, built within a vintage VW-style van that also includes several storage compartments, a TV, a desk, a minibar and a sofa – kind of a room within a room.

The bed sits atop a pair of deep storage drawers, while the “driver’s seat” is actually a comfy chair and desk, a perfect place to do homework or work on a project while conjuring up the feeling that you’re ready to head out on the highway and get your motor running.
Rocky Rocket Armchair
Designed for “little astronauts,” aspiring Buzz Lightyears will find plenty to love in this bedroom showpiece. “Kids are passionate about adventure, superheroes and exploring the universe,” notes the Circu website, “so Circu captures that essence and plants it in their souls.”
Rocky Rocket Armchair
Not simply a place for reading or playing make-believe, the Rocky Rocket Armchair also features an array of storage hidden within the rocket’s “boosters,” while the staircase contains “secret” storage compartments for a child’s treasures. There’s also a light and sound system within that’s controlled by a smartphone app, which can regulate choice of music, light effects and when it’s time to go to sleep.
Little Mermaid Bed
Inspired by a certain Disney movie, make-believe underwater princesses will look forward to bedtime when their sleep destination is this delightful clamshell bed.
Mermaid-bed2
Built atop a pile of faux ocean rocks, the bed’s fibreglass construction is sturdy and durable, while the top half of the shell incorporates built-in lighting that creates a magical, ambient glow.
Sky B Plane Bed
Junior aviators will love to get some shuteye in this bed designed to resemble a vintage biplane, much like the one from the Pixar movie “Planes”. As a bonus, this bed contains secret storage compartments on both sides of the bottom wing, while the top wing doubles as a shelf.
Sky B Plane
“With a creative and playful design, the Sky B Plane makes the crib-to-bed transition as painless as possible,” notes the Circu website. “The decorative suitcases are storage compartments and allow the kid to climb up and down the airplane. Soar high above the clouds! Some kids are born to fly!”
Teepee Room Bed
A great choice for kids enchanted by Disney’s “Pocahontas”, this teepee inspired bed contains a storage area below, and a secret compartment that provides access to a toy bo, along with built-in drawers and shelves for added convenience.
Teepee Play Playground
Another teepee-inspired item, this bedroom playhouse provides “a cozy place for kids to play (and hide),” while “parents can play with their children inside it and even read stories,” notes the website’s product information.
Magical Mirror
This magic mirror goes one step further than the one in Disney’s classic “Snow White” by transforming into a 22-inch flat-screen television built into the mirror.
Silver Toy Box
Also available in a shiny gold and copper finishes, this metallic-looking toy box is an ideal accompaniment for Circu’s “magical furniture,” boasting a secret compartment and a rotating cover.
Cloud Lamp
This suspended light may look like a light, fluffy cloud, but it contains some high-tech magic that allows it to light up (and change colours) and play music, all controlled via a smartphone app.
