Stapelstein
Stapelstein® was founded in 2015 by product designer Stephan Schenk. Through his active exchange with education professionals, Stephan noticed there was a lack of portable, multifunctional toys that stimulated activity and inspired free play. Stephan’s vision was to create a versatile system of products that encourages individual movement and creative play and brings long-term enjoyment – even when space is limited. His partner Hannah König is part of the management team and head of marketing.
After a two-year development process, Stapelstein® was presented to the public for the first time in 2017 at the Didacta trade fair for education and training in Schenk‘s hometown Stuttgart. Today, the team consists of 25 employees. Stapelstein® is sold in around 60 countries and is probably one of the biggest favorites in daycare centers and children‘s rooms in Germany/Austria/Switzerland.
