The Midsummer Collection: Scandinavian-Inspired Play mats Made for the Magic of Family Life.
Some of the most magical family moments happen at home, on the floor. Blanket forts built between breakfast and lunch, teddy bear picnics on the living room, a baby discovering their toes for the first time, a toddler playing beautifully as you enjoy your first coffee of the day.
These everyday moments can feel noisy, chaotic and sometimes overwhelming while you are living them, but they so often become the ones you remember most in the years to come. That feeling is what we have tried to capture in The Midsummer Collection.
Inspired by heritage Swedish textiles, delicate artisan florals and the softness of midsummer light, this new Totter + Tumble collection has been created to bring beauty, comfort and calm into the busiest spaces of family life. A collection of reversible, rug-like play mats designed not to be packed away, but to live beautifully at the centre of the home.
What is the Midsummer Collection?
New for 2026, The Midsummer Collection is heavily inspired by traditional Scandinavian rugs and the spirit of the Midsummer celebration. Ideal as rug alternatives for family homes, the collection introduces four new designs across two reversible play mats: The Fable + The Aster and The Rune + The Juniper.
Each design has been made to feel effortless in the home, combining soft color, hand drawn texture and pattern, paired with the practical comfort parents need from a play mat.
It is a space for tummy time, first rolls, wobbly steps, family games, quiet play and everything beyond. A soft, supportive foundation for the magic of everyday life.
Introducing the Midsummer designs
The Midsummer Collection brings together two distinct design stories: Swedish kilim-inspired patterns with gentle structure, and expressive florals with softness and light. Together, they create a collection that feels calm, warm and quietly joyful.
The Fable + The Aster
On the first reversible play mat, The Fable draws from traditional Swedish rollakan areas rugs, reimagined in warm golden prairie and fresh hay tones. It has the character of a woven heirloom rug, softened for modern family living.
Turn it over and you will find The Aster, a delicate pink play mat with a hand-drawn floral motif. Feminine, gentle and full of light, The Aster brings a fresh floral feel to nurseries, living rooms and play spaces without overpowering the room.
The Rune + The Juniper
The second reversible play mat pairs Scandinavian pattern with a beautifully versatile floral.
The Rune references classic Scandinavian woven designs in shades of blue dawn, first light and muted primaries. It feels fresh yet familiar, with small moments of color woven through a calm, lived-in palette.
On the reverse, The Juniper offers a floral design in crisp linen and soft hessian tones. Subtle, neutral and easy to style, it is made for spaces where you softness underfoot with a stylish neutral design.
Designed for the ordinary moments that become everything. The Midsummer Collection was created for it all - a place for play, a place for pause, a place of the everyday magic of family life.
