About Bilderhoos and its founders

History of the 'Hooses
David built a visually similar set of boards for his sons about 15 years ago based on a set in Orstedsparken playground in Copenhagen, Denmark. (I believe that original set is still in use to this day!) In 2014 Jill proposed the idea of adapting it and starting a business. It seemed to her that there was a place for such a big, portable play set like this in the world: Kids would benefit tremendously from the stretching of every muscle -- from their brains to their little bodies -- as they build and think and build again.
Since that idea took hold, it has been a flurry of creative activity from all of us. We've been swept in to this business because we think it's a super concept and a unique product that kids can enjoy and grow up with. We build it to last, and expect that your kids can still be using it when they grow up and have their own kids.
David's first set of 'popsicle sticks' from over a dozen years ago that sparked Bilderhoos.
