Passionate companies often begin their journey in a garage. This is also where Peter Orinsky developed and built the very first children’s loft bed for his son Felix 33 years ago. It was very important for him to only use natural materials, provide strong safety features, clean workmanship as well as a high degree of flexibility to ensure long-term use. The sophisticated modular system has been so well received over the years that the successful family business Billi-Bolli emerged – complete with master craftsmen working in our very own Workshop in the east of Munich. By communicating closely with customers Billi-Bolli keeps refining and enhancing their children’s furniture range constantly. After all, satisfied parents and happy children are our greatest motivation. More about us…
We are in friendly contact with Mr. Ulrich David, the developer of Gullibo beds. The company Gullibo no longer exists.
The basic construction of our beds is similar to Gullibo, but they differ in details. The latest version of DIN EN 747 is much stricter than it was back then. As we implement these changes, the height of the fall guard ⓘ, screw connections, slatted bed bases, bed drawer runners, handles and other features differ slightly for our loft beds and bunk beds.
We have also significantly expanded our range of assembly options: We now offer kids’ beds that can grow with the child as well as triple, quadruple, both-up and skyscraper bunk beds. Our collection of accessories is much more extensive than Gullibo’s at the time. We have added various theme boards, a climbing wall, a fireman’s pole, a blackboard, safety features and much more.
Time does not stand still, which means: Gullibo was good, Billi-Bolli is even better!
Gullibo beds have slightly different measurements, so many of our accessories are not compatible. However, you can attach accessories from our For swinging and Decorative Accessories categories to Gullibo beds, as they are not dependent on the dimensions of the bed construction. The helm and car steering wheel can also be attached.
Have you inherited a Gullibo loft bed and would like to extend it? We can provide undrilled 57 × 57 mm strong beams cut to your specifications. Please bear in mind that you will need to drill all necessary holes or grooves and plan the conversion yourself as we are unable to supply drawings for specific beams or beds or any parts lists. We do not take any responsibility for the safety or stability of the construction that results from the conversion.
We can supply you with 100mm carriage bolts and matching steel sleeve nuts, please contact us. We can also cut beam parts to your required length; see the previous question for details. Unfortunately, we cannot offer any spare parts or provide further advice for Gullibo beds.
