As you know, at Élhée, we love beautiful objects. Proof of this is that we created the first completely round baby bottle. As a tribute to feminine curves, we wanted it to be soft and supple in your baby’s hands, but also unbreakable for their safety. And because in childcare, every design must be tested, we created the BibROND using that innovative material: medical-grade silicone. Three great reasons to style your baby’s life—and yours—with Élhée!

Design and Inspirations
Élhée, above all, is the visualization of an object—the baby bottle—eminently personal, intimate, and delicate, whose design borrows from the nurturing breast everything that is most beautiful. In fact, the BibROND recreates generosity and abundance in just a few lines.
At its source, the alchemy happens somewhere between Bauhaus style and contemporary design, where practicality is mixed with aesthetics for a creation that is 100% innovative, 100% elegant, and 100% customizable.
- Bauhaus style experiments with materials to create functional objects with sleek and minimalist lines, reminiscent today of some iconic furniture and objects such as the Bauhaus teapot and table lamp.
- Contemporary style on the other hand, combines simplicity and a lack of frills, with neutral colors and shades of white, gray, black, and beige to allow the shapes and materials to stand out.
Boasting its innovative shape, the BibROND brings together all these features in a single object for a primal aesthetic in harmony with its purpose and that of young parents. Elegant, modern, and authentic, the Élhée baby bottle does not hide itself. Soft and evolving, it is nomadic—ready to follow your baby throughout their day.
Alongside the feminine curves that inspired the BibROND, nature is another inexhaustible source of beauty for decorating a child’s room and dreaming up a soft and serene world around them.
- Flowers, gentle colors, and natural materials are the focus at Charlie Crane with the LEVO rocking chair in beech wood and its mimosa floral print by Garbo & Friends
- At Studio Roméo too, flowers take the spotlight with the DUO IRIS baby carrier and its graphic and light print.
There are many examples of childcare objects, accessories, or furniture inspired by organic design—so many, in fact, because their benefits for sensory and emotional development of babies are now well established.
When Childcare Thrives Through Design
Memory, attention, creativity, or imagination—as we know, a child’s environment impacts their development. Thus, evolving in a clean, bright, and organized space especially promotes the freedom of thoughts. At the same time, visual stimulation through art in all its forms activates children’s curiosity and sharpens their appreciation of the world around them.
But design is not purely aesthetic. It is also ethical, with products made in France, utilizing local supply chains, handcrafted production, or even natural and recyclable materials.
Surrounding your baby with an environment that is gentle—with respect to both your child and the planet—can also shape their outlook for the future and offer them a responsible perspective and values when it comes to consumption.
Childcare Essentials That Catch the Eye
A baby’s arrival is often marked by changes in home furnishings. Cradles or cribs, bouncers, and first toys should all be selected for practicality, ethics, and aesthetics right from the start.
- In the nursery, the focus is all on the crib and changing table. In natural wood or painted pastel hues, the crib can be a cradle or slatted type, low or elevated, and convertible, to grow along with your baby. The changing table can be a two-in-one with an ergonomic changing surface.
- In the living room, the high chair is among the most prominent pieces. So, opt for a premium model that will last a long time, again thanks to its convertible features. In bio-based wood or a combination of wood and metal tubing, the high chair should be chosen to harmonize with your existing decor.
All around the home, rattan or wicker baskets can hide toys, changing supplies, or your pumping supplies, while in the kitchen, a few BibRONDS and a portable bottle warmer look lovely on display.
Inspiration Beyond Objects: Emotional Design
Life and its emotions are two endless sources of inspiration at the heart of the parent/child relationship. So, to style your baby’s life, draw inspiration directly from what they enjoy—what makes them laugh, the textures they like, and even the sounds around them.
With the BibROND, we wanted to see beyond a simple container and recreate the emotional bond of breastfeeding. That’s why we took inspiration from emotional design as close as possible to the first sensations of the newborn, drawn from their mother’s generous and nurturing curves.
Inspiration also finds its emotions in action and sharing. Moments of connection with your child are especially conducive to this: eye contact, talking, singing, reading—along with feeding. These privileged moments fill the parent/child relationship with beauty, gentleness, and memories.
Emotional design is everywhere. In every object, in your relationship with your baby, in your environment… That’s why Élhée, from the very start with its sensory baby bottle and now with the learning cup made for older children, has chosen to place emotional design at the heart of its design requirements. For elegant, healthy, safe, and timeless childcare.
