About - BOMBOL

CREATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR THE LITTLE PEOPLE IN OUR LIVES

THE ART OF STAYING SPARKY

As trained engineers we’re making it our mission to reinvent all the unhelpful plastic that weighs young families down. Freeing up grown-ups to be the sparky sources of fun all kids deserve.

HOW WE GOT HERE

INVENTORS FIRST. PARENTS SECOND.

Bombol was started by Paulina and Frédéric in Italy in 2008. When they moved to Hong Kong, they brought Bombol with them. We’re parents, but before we were parents we were engineers, industrial designers and inventors.

Paulina Chu

Managing Director

Paulina has a Masters in Fashion Design from the Domus Academy Milan and an MBA from SDA Bocconi Milan, making her a force to be reckoned with in the fashion business world. Before Bombol, Paulina worked in buying & merchandising for Gucci, Prada and Bottega Veneta. She understands luxury goods inside out, and knows exactly how to create products that are simple, functional and beautiful.

Frédéric Gooris

Creative Director

Frédéric is so obsessed with industrial design he runs a separate design studio alongside Bombol, simply to keep new ideas flowing across our desk. He has a Masters in Design from Domus Academy Milan (where he met Paulina), and has over 17 years’ experience creating products for top designers like Philippe Starck, and global brands such as Alessi, China Southern Airlines, Seiko and Levis.
