ABOUT US
Our story
Designed in Paris, handmade in Europe. It all began twelve years ago with one octopus, made as a gift.
It all began
by chance.
It all began by chance. I was looking for a way to make a living. Around that time, Aniko, my brother's daughter, was born, and I wanted to create a meaningful gift for her, something personal, something from me. Having studied fashion design, I knew how to work with fabrics and create many things by hand. From this desire came the very first octopus I made for her as a gift.
My close circle encouraged me to continue creating these magical animals and to begin selling them as a way to support myself. I began creating BigStuffed pieces in my living room, working long hours each day to keep up with the growing number of orders.
More than
a toy.
Over time, I gradually delegated, expanded, and brought together outstanding artisanal professionals who make them today. 12 years of a journey filled with joy and gratitude, born from a spontaneous beginning.
BigStuffed was born from a desire to create objects that go beyond the idea of a toy. Oversized yet gentle, playful yet refined, the silhouettes are deliberately round, generous, and expressive. The proportions are slightly exaggerated, giving each piece a quiet humor and a strong personality. There is a constant dialogue between nostalgia and modernity, a vintage soul with a contemporary eye. The colors are subtle, the textures comforting, and the shapes inviting.
Each piece is carefully designed in Paris and meticulously handmade in Europe, with a level of precision and intention that gives every character its own unique personality. More than simple objects, they are presences, each one a world of its own.

THE OCTOPUS
BigStuffed is not about producing toys. It is about creating companions.

THE OCTOPUS
Objects
that stay.
Over time, these pieces become companions. Without even noticing, they become part of our everyday life, forming personal connections with each member of the family, children and adults alike, each in their own way.
Their presence has the power to transform a space. A room becomes more alive. They inhabit a room the way a living presence would, bringing warmth, emotion, and a touch of dreamlike playfulness into the home.
This approach, which requires craftsmanship and high quality, is a deliberate choice. It reflects a commitment to creating objects that last, both in time and in meaning. Using the finest materials and working with highly skilled artisans, each piece is made to hold over time.
