Mobility On Board

Cool toys for (big) kids: that is MOB in four words. The French brand Mobility on Board was founded in 2014 by two designers who love gadgets and secretly never really grew up. Fortunately, because it is precisely that playfulness that makes their products so infectious. MOB takes ordinary devices—a lamp, an alarm clock, a speaker—and gives them a playful twist, so that you still get a thrill out of using them. In their studio in Boulogne-Billancourt, just outside Paris, every idea is conceived, designed, and developed from start to finish. Today, the results can be found in more than thirty countries.

A starry sky on your ceiling

The most famous MOB in our collection is the Stellar Light: an astronaut-shaped lamp that projects a galaxy across your ceiling and walls at the touch of a button. In the same family are the Astrolicht Rainbow and the Astrolicht Sunset, which bathe your room in warm colors, and the Mini Stellar White, a rechargeable night light that is small enough to take along to Grandma's house. They look just as good on a toddler's nightstand as on a teenager's bookshelf, which is exactly where this brand excels: turning something once boring and functional into something you can't stop looking at. It's also helpful for falling asleep, as a soft starry sky is more soothing than a bright lamp.

Gifts for children from 0 to 101

If you are looking for something cheerful for someone who already has everything, you’ve come to the right place with MOB. With the PixiPrint instant camera, you can take a photo and print it out immediately, and with the KS-80 speaker and microphone, you can have a karaoke party in the living room within a minute. These are the kinds of gifts that are just as perfect for a child's birthday as they are for a Secret Santa at work, because big kids exist too. If you are debating between two colors or wondering how long the battery lasts, it's all on the product page, and you can order it in just a few clicks.
