The Boot Kidz Story
The story of the Boot Kidz starts in London, England. In 2005, furniture designer Karen Henry sketched designs of cartoon characters on a piece of paper. This conceptual idea was developed into a unique concept called the Boot Kidz. It took well over 2 years to create her first real life-size Boot Kidz. Using tube-bending and concrete making equipment she bent the steel to form the outline of the Boot Kidz and poured the concrete to create the cement Wellington Boots. Joe, Chloe, and Lucy were featured in the London Design Festival 2006 in partnership with Gap Kids. The Boot Kidz have continued to be successful as a childs coat stand and as a wireframe shop retail mannequin, featuring in newspaper articles and magazine all over the world including China, Scotland, and the USA.
