Commitment to sustainability and safety.
Stapelstein® is made in Germany with care and cutting-edge design that guarantees quality and safety. Our patented technology and innovative material allows for a non-toxic, durable, stable and safe playtime. Our climate-neutralized manufacturing keeps our planet safe, too.
Pioneering design.
Stapelstein® emphasizes both form and function. The innovative design of our elements blazes an entirely new trail—one that leads to creativity without limits. Compatible and modular, our collection is meant for imaginations to run free. A Bauhaus-inspired palette of colors and tactile, simple shapes provide top-quality products and play.
Social responsibility.
Stapelstein® is a steward-owned company, built on two core principles: self-governance and purpose-driven profits. This means we’re fully independent and self-funded and our mission to empower and protect childhood development remains top priority. You won’t see children’s faces in any of our assets — we protect their privacy and independence as well.
By humans, for humans.
Stapelstein® began as a university project. In the same spirit of learning, we continue to explore our insatiable curiosity around childhood activity and wellness. Filling the gap between childhood and movement, Stapelstein® integrates active play into daily life with ease, fun and inclusivity.
Our Mission.
Stapelstein® was founded by designer Stephan Schenk and his partner Hannah König. Craving movement as a child and learning more about the importance of play – both physically and cognitively – Stephan Schenk created a system of products to bring movement, creativity, and connection to children. Regardless of age, ability or gender, there is a place for Stapelstein® to empower playtime.
“I see Stapelstein as a trailblazer, leading a revolution in the play industry.”
Stephan, Designer and Co-Founder
