MEZOOME-DESIGNS



At the Birth and Baby Fair I was introduced to Mezoome-Designs, a line founded 3 years ago by 2 moms in Tel Aviv Israel. The vision of Mezoome is to design “products that incorporate functionality and aesthetics with high quality organic materials that both children and parents can enjoy…”
Mezoome incorporates a family of characters, which have their own name and personality, onto all their products:
·               Mr. Mush is a smiley mushroom
·               Wabbit is a very happy little bunny rabbit
·               Owl-e is our wise owl
·               A-corn is a fun little acorn that pops up everywhere
·               Busy Bee is a friendly little summer bumblebee
Ima Design Imports, the exclusive distributor for Mezoome-Designs sent me the Organic Pully Mully Pacifier Holder and the Wabbit Organic Baby Blanket for review.
The unique Organic Pully Mully Pacifier Holder is a square lovey with a satin tag on each side and a pacifier holder on the top. While your baby sucks on their pacifier, they have the Pully Mully to play with, the textures of the tags keep little fingers busy. The front is a water-based eco-friendly dyed image of Mr Mush. I love the Pully Mully, because it is hard to lose a pacifier with a lovey attached to it but then add to that the entertainment that is provided by the tags and the drool that can be wiped up by the lovey – an all in one organic fun and function for baby. 

The Wabbit Organic Baby Blanket is a 2-layered blanket made from high quality natural cotton. This super soft blanket features Wabbit in eco-friendly dyes. The blanket is large enough (32″ x 40″) for a newborn up to a toddler.

I love the characters of because they are not too babyish yet very baby friendly. The colors are basic but vibrant without being too bright. Mezoome-Designs have many other baby products such as stroller liners, sleeping bags, crib sheets etc. I am a huge fan of Mezoome-Designs, their products make great gifts for baby showers or even your own.

Designer of the Week - Mezoome Designs



Well folks, my favourite time of year is almost upon us… a snuggly, cuddly, cosy winter! With that in mind, today I’d like to introduce you to a delightful design duo from Tel Aviv, Israel – Maayan and Anat from Mezoome Designs. I’m particularly enamoured with their winter sleeping bags (also great for transitioning into autumn) and this week I had the chance to try one out for myself…

If there’s one thing that I learnt from this week’s review, it’s that very few things in this world are more adorable than an itty bitty baby bundle wrapped up in a cosy cocoon of Egyptian cotton. I had so much fun cuddling Miss Megan (5 months) in the Mezoome Sleeping Bag that I made three rounds of coffee and used some pre-Easter caramello eggs to entice her mummy to stay a little bit longer!
Here’s the low down on the design… It’s made from eco-friendly 100% Egyptian cotton and is available in four colours (red, brown, light blue and grey). I was especially smitten with the fabulously fun lining which features a selection of woodland creatures. I also love the easy-in-and-out wrap style which has a shape like a gingerbread man and a handy velcro closure. Megan’s mum found it useful for day sleeps and also used it in the car. It’s available for $44USD (with free worldwide shipping)… and did I mention that it has little bear ears on the hood? So sweet!
The verdict… Fun, modern styling to keep your little bug snug.

The Indie Label
Mezoome Designs is a creative project by Anat Biala (mum of two boys, 5 y.o. Jonathan and 1.5 y.o. Yoav) and Maayan G. Shpigel (mum of two girls, 4 y.o. Alona and 1.9 y.o. Michaella). Anat and Maayan met at their children’s kindergarten and one day while they were hanging out at the playground they discovered that they both shared a love for graphics and design.
In 2008, Anat and Maayan they decided to join forces to launch Mezoome and have been happily designing together ever since. Their business name means “who’s who” in Hebrew, which they thought was cute and apt name for their collaboration.
The Creative Mind
Anat and Maayan draw their inspiration from their children and the world that surrounds them. They also love the Scandinavian design aesthetic, which is evident in their current collection.
Anat and Maayan explain, “We always start our design process around our four main characters and brain storm the old fashioned way with a pen and paper. After that we research different colours and textures according to the season and collection. We turn to our favourite design websites for inspiration as well as design books and all the things around us.”

I know it’s not feasible for everyone to buy everything organic, but when it comes to bedding, I think it is a must have item. Children spend more time in bed than anywhere else, so it should be free of harmful chemicals. I have found that lots of organic bedding can be on the expensive side. But high quality sheets that can last several years is worth the extra $10. While I was searching for  organic bedding, I came across Mezoome Design on Etsy and fell in love. They are an adorable children’s design brand in Israel that has amazing organic sheets, blankets, and more!

Mezoome Design was started in 2008 by two moms who met while their children were in kindergarten. The moms both had a passion for design, so Mezoome was born. I fell in love with their whimsical designs and knew I had to try them out! They sent me theirMezoome Organic Baby Blanket and Organic Fitted Sheets to review and I wish they made them in my size!

The Mezoome Organic Fitted Sheet works for cribs and toddler transition beds so they are built to last for several years. They are made with the same silky smooth 100% GOTS certified organic cotton as the Blanket. I would love to sleep on these!! The sheetshave a sweet acorn pattern at the top and the rest is plain white. They are dyed with eco-friendly dyes. You can get the sheets for $37.
Mezoome Design also has other sheets and blankets made out of Egyptian cotton that are slightly less than the organic cotton.
Mezoome Design wants to offer BabyElan readers free shipping! Just use the code BEFREESHIP at the checkout!

MezooMe Designs offers cute organic linens for your little angels



Our cute little babies mean a world to us. We would never want any harmful product reaching them. So, organic products are becoming a preferred choice for many. Looking at this present scenario, we can see many baby product manufacturing companies shifting their focus to greener and safer alternatives. And why not, after all these little angels are the future of tomorrow. If we hope for a safer and better tomorrow, it’s important that they are kept safe today. Promising a safe today to little kids is, Israeli designer Anat Biala who has recently introduced a line of organic linens for babies.

Founded in 2008, “MezooMe Designs” is a line of baby linens made using organic textiles. Using organic fabrics not only reduces the chances of allergens and irritants, but is also environmentally friendly. The inspiration for MezooMe Designs was Biala’s firstborn son, Jonathan. She wanted some high-quality, non-harmful products for her son and decided to make them herself. Her products are safe and eco-friendly, but that doesn’t mean she has sacrificed on the looks. These products maintain high aesthetic value and functionality. Mezoome offers products that enable both parents and children to enjoy playful design, characters and safety. Looking at these stunning designs and green credentials, I am sure Biala will go a long way.

MezooMe Designs: Style Your Kids



Existing in a world today where everything is designed down to the ‘T’, it has become somewhat of a rare of occasion to stumble upon designs that attract your immediate attention. I was fortunate enough to come upon a design brand that snapped me right out of my ‘design jaded funk’ and enabled me to enter a whimsical world of children’s design. Their name? MezooMe. Their Game? A breath of fresh air into the world of children’s design. The master minds behind this charming brand? Maayan G. Spigel & Anat Biala, both young mothers to two children (each!) with a keen and undisputed sense of style with a mutual passion for children’s design.

This charming brand focuses it’s attention to high quality products with a whimsical edge that is visually pleasing and amusing to children and adults alike. Not only are the products sheer ‘eye candy’, they are also functionality oriented and made to perfection. What makes MezooMe stand out from the vast sea of other children designs is their minimalist approach, not over the top with a color combination that could make your eye sore, but rather an amazingly soothing color pallet married with a variety of sweet characters ( all this proper names and identities) that create a rich world that is unique only to MezooMe.
