The good folks at Nurseryworks just sent me a heads-up about their new partnership with TRUCK, a product and architecture firm. As a designer, this really appeals to me to see that a noted furniture company has adopted a design-centric model in both aesthetics and function to produce some truly beautiful and functional furniture. Below is an excerpt from their email…
Nurseryworks, the noted specialist in handcrafted contemporary furniture, bedding, and rugs for the kids of design-savvy parents, is now working with TRUCK Product Architecture. The up-and-coming design firm, founded by architects Jennifer Carpenter, Jonathan Marvel, and Rob Rogers in 2000, turns heads and enlivens interiors with its sleek, smart furniture for adults and kids, and its distinctive modern housewares. Like Nurseryworks, TRUCK emphasizes designs that make the modern home more fun to live in. Its clients include, among others, Kate Spade, Pure Design, and Studio Nova.
Nurseryworks, which concentrates on beautifully made and highly adaptable designs that can evolve from the nursery to other areas of the domestic landscape, has commissioned an initial introduction from TRUCK Product Architecture that consists of the Loom Crib, Studio Crib, and Goodnight Glider and Goodnight Ottoman. These designs fit neatly into the Nurseryworks family of products: numerous options allow customization to suit individual requirements for utility and style; in addition, the pieces are detailed and manufactured to suit a visually informed adult aesthetic. Forms and colors are both modern and contemporary, and materials are unusual, durable, and sophisticated.

Retail chain Restoration Hardware is planning to launch Restoration Hardware Baby & Child later this year as a catalog and web site, with about 150 actual stores to open at a later date.
“This is a severely under-served category in the top shopping centers,” said Gary Friedman, president and CEO. Noting that the top 100 centers “have only one offering – Pottery Barn Kids,” he said. Restoration Hardware Baby & Child will be positioned slightly higher in pricing strategy.
Look for the catalog/website this fall/winter.

The Austin Crib by the ducduc team is designed with high-functioning versatility in a refreshing modern vocabulary. Solid, durable and elegantly simple, the crib adapts to your child’s changing needs with a sleeping platform that progressively lowers in four stages to keep the growing child safe and secure. Inspired by the 1945-66 Case Study Houses that included designs by Richard Neutra, Eero Saarinen, Charles and Ray Eames and other modern giants, the Austin Crib combines simple iconic style and honest, durable materials along with a subtle palette.
