Kibu Children's Headphones by Morrama and Batch Works (@morramadesign @batch.works) has won Dezeen Awards 2025 sustainable design of the year.

According to the sustainability master jury; "these circular children's headphones turn their sustainable credentials – the fact that they can be easily assembled and disassembled for recycling – into a teachable moment."

"By allowing kids to construct their own headphones, they encourage a future generation of designers to learn about how things are made and how they could be made more sustainably."

We are over the moon to share that Kibu has been named one of Dezeen’s Best Designs of 2025! 🎉🚀

They loved that our headphones allow little hands to build, break, and fix things again. Proving that caring for the planet can be full of wonder (and have zero fiddly screws!).

To everyone building and repairing with us: thank you!

#Kibu #DezeenAwards #SustainableDesign #STEMForKids #CircularEconomy #KidsHeadphones #BuildRepairRecycle

We’re Kibu, and we make the only children’s headphones you can build, repair, and recycle.

Our headphones come as a simple STEM kit that turns everyday listening into a hands-on learning adventure. With a little help from grown-ups, kids can build their own pair, learn how they work, and take pride in something they made themselves.

👂 Volume-safe for little ears
🛠️ Super easy to build – no fiddly wires, screws or glue
♻️ 3D printed from recycled bioplastic that comes from plants like corn
🔧 Made to be repaired, not thrown away

Kibu headphones are designed with love to spark curiosity, encourage creativity, and make learning fun for kids and grown-ups alike.

🎉 We won! 🎉
Kibu has been named Sustainable Design of the Year by Dezeen Awards 2025! 🏆🌍

These amazing headphones started with a simple idea: what if kids could build their own tech and fix it too? The judges loved how Kibu makes sustainability part of the fun, turning building and repairing into a hands-on learning adventure. 💡🔧

With easy-to-snap-together parts, no fiddly wires, and a design made to last, Kibu is more than just a pair of headphones. It’s a project, a lesson, and a celebration of curiosity all in one.

Thank you to everyone who’s supported us on this journey. Here's to more learning, building and caring for our planet together 💚

Our first Kibu Club Workshop is complete! 🎉

A room full of curious kids, learning about sound and building their own headphones from start to finish. We may also have set a new world record for the longest daisy chain of headphones! 14 children connected together, guessing songs and animal sounds 🎧🐘🎶

We’re all about creativity, repair and sustainability. Showing kids that making things is way more fun than just buying them 💪

Huge thank you to everyone who joined us for this first build. We can’t wait for the next one! 🌱

✨ We’ve been shortlisted for not one but two Dezeen Awards! ✨
Kibu is up for Product Design (Consumer Design) and Sustainable Design — and we couldn’t be prouder.

This means so much to us. It’s recognition of what we’ve been building: safe, repairable headphones for kids that are made from recycled materials and designed to be fixed, not thrown away.

It shows that great design isn’t just about how something looks, but how it works, how it’s made, and what it teaches.

Thanks to the Dezeen jury and everyone supporting what Kibu stands for. We’re honoured to be shortlisted — and quietly hoping to bring home a win too. 💙
