The Moon Crib by Creme Anglaise

Even though I’m still waiting on pricing and stockist information, I had to show you the hotness that is the Moon Crib, a collaboration between French couple, designer Emilie of Creme Anglaise and her furniture maker husband Jocelyn Costis. My eyes were on stalks when I opened my email this morning! Handmade from recycled wooden [...]

Chiconomy Buy: Coloured Cots from Kiddicare

  We’re still mourning the loss of the Brio cotbed which was a bright style-light in the lower price brackets when it comes to baby furniture. Since it departed along with the elegant grey cot from Zara Home Kids the only colourful option seemed to be the Somnat from Ikea. But no more! Enter Kiddicare [...]

I first saw Nina’s House last year when the prototype swept the design blogs. It is pretty impressive and at first glance my inner child had a case of the wanties. Designed by Dave Keune to be a self contained room within your house, Nina’s Bed is a cosy cot, chest of drawers, changing station [...]

I fell in love with the Bednest the first time I laid eyes on it. Beautifully designed, sustainably produced and filling a gap in the market it became a baby furniture crush of mine. Top of my fantasy shopping list for Betsy I struck a deal to buy a gently pre-loved model and used my [...]

Travelling with babies has seen me pack the car to the gills for even the shortest weekend away. Often I took our travel cot even if there was one on offer at our destination as I always worried about what condition the mattress would be in. Even with our on travel cot they are far [...]

With is minimalist white looks, handy castors and cool star cut-outs, this Cyrus Stella cot is such a thing of beauty I’d almost be loathed to put a baby in it! Fortunately, it’s so prohibitively expensive I’d never get the opportunity! €1500 (eek, plus add €760 if you want the lacquered version – still it [...]

Myf recently featured the cool curves of Babycotpod’s Cascara which looks like it comes from the future. Their latest offering is a swinging crib so cool I’m a little sad our baby days are drawing to a close. The crib is made of a sturdy frame in either light wood, dark wood or a white [...]

I like it. I really, really do – but I still can’t help thinking of Brave New World, The Handmaid’s Tale and even, dare I say, The Matrix when I look at the smooth designer curves of the Cascara by Babycotpod. No-one’s fault, of course. Those films and our best designers all borrow from shared visions of [...]

We’re on the verge of the transition from cot to bed, so I’ve been researching fall-out prevention strategies. One of the funkiest ideas I’ve come across is this bed rail/bookshelf which is meant to encourage children to stay in bed and browse their reading material if they do wake up – so (theoretically) no early [...]

Ah…sigh… If I’d founded Bambino Goodies earlier in my first pregnancy rather than just before I was due to pop, I suspect I would have hustled the boyf for a proper crib like this whimsical beauty from New Zealand company Fringe of Heaven. Handcrafted from soft beech timber, the Canopy Crib is and is sized [...]
