A wooden box
that plays you
stories.
Solid wood, brushed steel and cotton. Play a story by placing a coin on top — no screens, no menus, no fuss. Built by our hands, or by yours.
Build.
Assembled, or a DIY kit you finish by hand.
Listen.
Large bricks and buttons. Easy for a child,
or a grandparent, to navigate.
Charge.
USB-C. Optional cordless charging plinth available.
Open.
Open-source software. Read it, or swap it out.
The coins
Paint them. Sticker them. Make them yours.
Each coin is a small wood or metal disc. Set it on the box and it wakes a story, a song, or a playlist. Decorate it with paint, stickers, or a small figure — so your child has characters that make simple sense.
- — Ready-made illustrated coins, or custom-painted to order.
- — Pre-loaded coins send their sound to your box the moment they land.
- — Reroute any coin's sound from your phone or browser.
Marketplace
Record your own bedtime read. Share it free, or let other parents buy it.
Two ways to own it
Ready to play, or finished by your own hand.
Assembled
Out of the box
Arrives built, tuned and tested. Set a coin down and the first story begins.
DIY kit
The last mile is yours
Every part and a friendly guide. Seat the electronics yourself and feel that you built the thing.
Shells
Change its look, keep the sound.
Swap the outer shell for another finish — natural oak, dark walnut, or a cotton wrap that matches the room it lives in.
Your voice
Read the book you already own.
Record yourself reading, or singing, and upload it from your phone or browser. It loads onto the coin the moment it touches the box — so your child can hear your voice again and again. Share what you make on the marketplace, free or for a price.

CUSTOMIZE THEM - MAKE THEM UNIQUELY YOURS
Glue on anything you like to make the coins come alive as playful toys that trigger sound.
Paint them, sticker them, or glue on a favourite little figure — whatever makes it feel like a character. Or start from a limited-edition ready-made figure.
Limited edition figures
Small characters, ready to stand on the box.
A rotating collection of hand-carved figures. No coin base — they stand on their own feet. Fill each one with any sound you like, from your phone or browser.
