When we were first preparing to have a baby, I was worried about all of the ugly baby things people would give us. I have a very particular aesthetic when it comes to our home. Though I believe in chinese concept of feng shui , I do not believe in the chinese concept of toxic plastic baby toys. I strive to be mindful of what comes into our home. That, being said I despised the idea of clunky hollow plastic and gaudy hues of primary colors. Admittedly, I have been forced to compromise slightly on this issue at times, but for the most part we have kept a nice home. Which brings me to Svan.
Svan has about the ugliest website I have ever seen, but their baby furniture design is remarkable. Their design could compliment any home-especially if you appreciate a more contemporary look. We can't actually afford this stuff as of yet, but I'm keeping my eye on it nonetheless. All of their furniture is made of birch wood and could stand the test of time- which really only matters depending on how many kids you plan on having. The high chair is especially interesting as it adjusts to the development of your child. Below is a very intuitive video from Baby Gizmo explaining some of the details.
