TREND Material Matters

More and more, we’re spotting natural materials and high tech techniques in nursery and youth furniture, as companies work to stand out. Many brands have headed up-market, adding new luxe choices to their product selection: Monte now offers a limited edition wool and walnut option for several of their most popular gliders and beds. Over the past few years, furniture maker Spot on Square has dabbled in new materials like acrylic, both clear (as in its Roh collection) and with natural elements in pops of color (like in its new Alto collection). Nurseryworks rechristened its brand this past year, dedicating the range to made-in-Los Angeles, price-is-no-object styles, like the Gradient, reminiscent of Calatrava’s bone like structure at the World Trade Center Transportation Hub in solid maple ($7500), and the uber luxurious Lydian Crib ($6900), with its black walnut frame floating in a 24K gold square base.
