Dennis Pastel — by Studio Dennis
For the neutral lovers who still want a little colour.
Meet the softer side of Dennis.
The much-loved Studio Dennis design has been reimagined in a dreamy pastel palette — retaining the movement, creativity and personality of the original artwork, but with softer, muted tones designed to sit beautifully within neutral and contemporary interiors.
Think neutral… with a little more fun.
Dennis Pastel is perfect for those who naturally gravitate towards warm, understated spaces but still want to introduce a subtle flash of colour into their home, playroom, classroom or calm corner.
Created in collaboration with Australian artist Andrew Boddam-Whetham of Studio Dennis, this is the same expressive Dennis design you know and love — simply softened.
Art Meets Comfort
Our Sensory Tatami Snuggle Rugs aren’t just beautiful to look at — they’re seriously comfortable.
Made using premium 35D high-density slow-rebound foam, Dennis Pastel expands to an incredibly plush 35mm thick, creating a soft and supportive surface for babies, children and adults alike.
The short-pile surface has been deliberately chosen to provide that beautifully soft-to-touch feel without the long fibres of traditional plush rugs, making it practical for everyday family, education and sensory spaces.
Perfect for tummy time, floor play, reading, relaxing, sensory spaces or simply stretching out together.
A Note from Our Founder, Laura
“I first came across Andrew’s work while walking into my local shopping centre and was completely blown away by a mural painted across one of the entrances.
I immediately needed to know who had created it.
I reached out to Centre Management, who generously helped me track down Andrew and his Studio Dennis social media. From there, our collaboration began.
What I love about Andrew’s work is the movement, imagination and unexpected use of colour. With this pastel edition, we wanted to keep everything that makes Dennis special while creating something for those of us who love a more neutral home but aren’t quite ready to give up colour completely.
It’s soft, playful and just a little unexpected — exactly how I wanted it to feel.”
— Laura, Founder of Grace & Maggie
Meet the Artist — Andrew Boddam-Whetham
Based in Sydney, Andrew Boddam-Whetham is the creative force behind Studio Dennis.
Working across mural art, textiles, painting and design, Andrew draws inspiration from influences including 20th-century art, skateboard culture and comic art. His distinctive visual language brings together characters, objects, botanical forms and ideas around future living, bio-domes and animal behaviour.
Studio Dennis creates art that transforms everyday environments into bold, immersive and optimistic spaces.
Andrew’s work includes Botanical Tangle No. 3 at Karingal Hub — the mural that first caught Laura’s attention and ultimately sparked the collaboration between Studio Dennis and Grace & Maggie.
We’re incredibly proud to bring Andrew’s artwork into children’s spaces through a collection designed to celebrate art, colour, creativity and play.
The Dennis Pastel Design
Dennis Pastel takes the bold personality of the original Dennis artwork and turns the volume down — just a little.
The softer pastel colourway allows the intricate shapes and playful details of Andrew’s artwork to shine without overwhelming a space.
It’s designed to work effortlessly alongside timber, white, cream and other neutral tones while introducing gentle pops of colour that make children’s spaces feel fun, creative and considered.
Perfect for neutral lovers who want to explore colour without going all in.
And because it’s still Dennis, there’s plenty for little eyes to discover.

Safety & Certification
Your family’s safety is incredibly important to us.
The Dennis Pastel Snuggle Rug is made using CertiPUR-US® certified foam and OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified fabric, providing additional reassurance that the materials have been tested against recognised safety standards.
Cleaning & Care
Regular Care: Vacuum regularly to remove dust and everyday debris.
Spills: Wipe spills promptly using a damp cloth with mild soapy water.
Stains: Gently spot clean using a mild detergent and soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive scrubbers.
Do Not Machine Wash or Soak: The foam construction is not suitable for machine washing or full immersion.
Unpacking Your Snuggle Rug
Your Snuggle Rug is vacuum-sealed for shipping, so don’t be alarmed if it looks a little flatter or more wrinkled than expected when it first arrives.
Allow approximately 48–72 hours for the foam to begin expanding and regaining its shape. Some more stubborn compression creases can take several days to soften completely.
To help smooth the surface, you can gently steam the rug or use a low-heat iron with a cotton towel placed between the iron and the rug.
Please note: Compression and creasing after vacuum packing are normal and do not impact the quality or performance of the product.

Due to the vacuum-packed nature of this product, we are unable to accept change-of-mind returns once the shrink wrap has been opened, as the rug cannot be repacked to its original shipping size.
