About Dan Popa : Dan Popa is an ambitious and creative person with an enterpreneurship attitude. Always looking for inmprovements and better solutions, he sees opportunities everywhere. Leea Toys and the products he created were the response to his quest for better parenting solutions, better use of materials and resources, more practical solutions to practical problems, better quality time with and for the children. Having graduated the Faculty of Medicine, and being highly interested in the child development, Dan Popa found the opportunity to use all his knowledge, combined with creativity and playfulness.

This is the reason why Leea's Tower and Leoleo are unique, being created with solid child developmemnt knowledge, with desire for playfullness and creativity, with a high degree of detail in design, and never-seen-before level of multi functionality.

In the practical life, every parent knows that there are many objects purchased for the child, but most of them are used very little or sometimes even not at all. Dan Popa wanted to create the most useful and really-used object for children possible.
STATEMENT OF ART:
Design and art are forms of human expression.

In my opinion, art should tell the truth as it is, and design should tell the truth as we want it to be.

As opposed to art, design should always have a practical side, even by denying it.
