Created in 2006 by a mother of two and architect seeking an alternative to screen-based entertainment, IVI World makes 3D play carpets with raised details that turn children’s rooms into imaginative play spaces. The company developed a wool-like substitute after its founder’s son’s asthma made wool unsuitable, and its rugs are designed around child safety, with non-toxic materials and U.S. and European child-protection approvals after Intertek testing.
