History
Mylle changed the inflatable pool industry in 2018 by launching a minimalist pool design in iconic packaging that made the once corny backyard kid toy a must-have for city-dwelling millennials. Year after year, Architectural Digest, Dwell, Elle Decor and other leading outlets have ranked Mylle as the top brand in the space. In 2024, Mylle launched three more innovative categories for the high-style, low square footage set - garnering praise from design leaders like DesignMilk & Dwell, noting Mylle’s ability to create game-changing products people never knew they needed, and now can’t live without.

2018
Mylle launches by introducing the first interior design quality inflatable pool. Strikingly minimalist with only two rings in a single iconic grid print, packaged in a beautiful envelope.
2019 - 2023
Mylle continues to introduce more design-oriented pools, while scaling up the operation to include wholesale, press partnerships and international fanbase. We have been quietly in product development in tandem with scaling up our operation, to be ready to meet the moment to expand the brand.
2024
Building on the loyal customer base and strong understanding of what customers want but doesn't currently exist, Mylle launched 3 new product categories in 2024. Notably, Hot Seat won Domino's 2024 Good Design Award - proving Mylle's ability to predict the consumer future.
Our Founder
Kris Myllenbeck is a fashion industry veteran, with over 15 years experience styling campaigns for major American brands like Nordstrom, Nike, and Microsoft. She began Mylle in the same way that brings so many others to entrepreneurship: she couldn't find a pool to suit her urban townhouse, so she set out to create one. She has 100% bootstrapped Mylle, doing most of the jobs herself and funding its creation by working as a freelance stylist.
She lives in Seattle, WA with her boyfriend, their two kids, and a gorgeous standard poodle.
