Every now and then something happens that feels like a milestone on the road to better design for kids. One of my recent “Oh Yes!” breakthrough moments took place when I received pictures from our new dealer in Hong Kong, whose shop has recently opened.
While we think a NettoCollection crib is the one and only for your little tyke, at some point in your travels across the world or across town you will find yourself with a very tired baby and no crib in sight.
The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook: Parenting offers several makeshift solutions from using a storage bin to a dresser drawer (Hint: First remove drawer from dresser and place on ground) to get you through a cribless night. A solution they don’t mention but that I used when my daughter was very small, is a large hard-sided suitcase. Obviously these improvised cribs and the precious contents within are to be monitored at all times. Still, it beats always staying at home.

I wanted to share this picture of our booth at the Kind + Jugend show in Cologne, Germany with you.
At the show we were so thrilled at the strong interest in our designs from companies based in Scandinavia, Germany, and England. It felt like we'd come full circle in a way, offering European design infused with American sensibility to the countries whose clean, modern but classic aesthetics inspired our designs. We will continue in Europe the mission we pioneered four years ago at home: to make stylish baby furniture--of the highest quality--that need never be outgrown.
Usually Europe is five years ahead of the States in design concepts, but this time it was the other way around. We have just introduced our complete line of baby furniture, designed in the US and manufactured in Poland, at the prestigious Kind + Jugend show in Cologne, Germany.
We were thrilled to see real interest from companies based in Scandinavia, Germany, and England has resulted in agreements to distribute NettoCollection furniture in the countries whose aesthetic inspired our designs. We will continue in Europe the mission we pioneered four years ago at home: to make stylish baby furniture--of the highest quality--than need never be outgrown.
We have just returned
from Las Vegas where we premiered Cabine, our new two-piece
collection of white lacquer and natural oak. Debuting a new collection is always interesting and a little nerve-wracking, no matter how much you like the design there's always that little fear that people won't see it in the same way as you do. But Cabine did wonderfully well at the show, garnering a lot of interest and compliments. While there we showed examples of the new production of
CUB, our lower-priced line of cribs, changers and shelves (check it
out at CUBKids).
People said they loved the color and the sturdy construction. This is our
third year showing at ABC and the show keeps getting better and better --it was a real pleasure to be there again this year.
