A bit about us and how we do things
Who We Are
Our decade-long journey in furniture design and manufacturing took on new meaning when we became parents. We are living through those sleepless nights, toddler chaos, and the bittersweet rush of childhood—just like you.
Our experience has taught us that childhood isn't linear—it's a beautiful, ever-changing adventure. That's why, along with a skilled team of craftsmen, we created Little Tandem: to craft adaptable furniture that grows with your child, fostering a space of safety, self-expression, and boundless imagination.
In the end, it's about giving you the flexibility to create spaces that grow and change right alongside your amazing, ever-evolving little ones. When you have the right tools, you can create a home where childhood thrives and family bonds deepen—and isn't that what we all want?
Here’s to creating spaces where childhood magic and family memories bloom together.

What Drives Our Design
We design with children at the center — simple, durable furniture that supports their independence, sparks curiosity, and fits naturally into real homes. Every detail is thoughtful, honest, and built to last.
What Drives Our Mission
We believe childhood deserves good design. Little Tandem exists to create fewer, better things that respect kids as capable humans and help families live with more connection, not more stuff.
What Drives Our Mission
Every decision — from the curve of a seat to the type of finish — is made to support real families, real homes, and real childhoods.
Timeline

2023
Foundations & First Prototype
We began with a vision: furniture designed with children in mind, and built to last. Throughout 2023, we developed and tested early design concepts for The Frame, refining every detail through prototyping before gearing up for full-scale production.

2024
Launch of The Frame & The Canopy
After months of development and iteration, we officially launched The Frame & The Canopy and began shipping nationwide from our North Carolina manufacturing facility. This marked the beginning of our commitment to delivering thoughtfully made products across the country.

2025
Growing the Ecosystem
With The Frame successfully in homes, we introduced The Desk and The Bedside Table, expanding our core line of modular essentials. We also launched The Dock, a custom Yoto player attachment that integrates seamlessly with our system — extending functionality with style.

H12025
Introduced Our Cushion
We launched our own custom cushion to complement The Frame, transforming it into a full modular kids couch — a turnkey solution for play, rest, and creativity.

H22025
The Grow Together Plan
We introduced the Grow Together Plan, a new accessibility initiative designed to make our products more reachable for more families. Alongside that, we passed a major milestone: over 10,000 followers in our growing community of design-minded parents.

2026
Looking Ahead
We’re building our future with intention. In 2026, we’re focused on crafting our next wave of releases and collaborating with like-minded brands that share our values around design, sustainability, and childhood.
Stay tuned — the journey is just getting started.
