Many parents design their nursery based on the gender of
their expected child, while others wait for life's ultimate surprise. Not
knowing whether you're having a boy or girl can make decorating a challenge,
but designing a unisex nursery is also great fun. The decision to wait creates
an intimacy between the parents and an array of opportunities for your special nursery, so how would you decorate a very special baby nursery? That got us thinking........
The
answer came with the incredibly beautiful Notte Fatata collection by designer
Savio Firmino.
The newest line from Firmino
was inspired by the birth of his grandchild, complete with nurseries that
seamlessly transition into boy and girl’s rooms. A line made up of everything
divine, from wardrobes to small beds, from bedside tables to changing tables,
from large chests to toy chests that bring utter mind-blowing quality and elegance
to any nursery. And we love that these
gorgeous pieces are gender neutral for those parents not wanting to know baby’s
gender but wanting a luxury nursery nonetheless.
What is
extraordinary about the Notte Fatata line–other than the sheer beauty of it is
that it is made with the same attention to detail and craftsmanship as all the
pieces that have been manufactured since 1941. This family run three-generation
business uses all of the ancient furniture making techniques that were used for
centuries- making antique quality pieces for the lords and queens of the world.
We think this makes it perfect for your little lord or queen.
The crib’s
upholstered detail can easily be removed for cleaning and eventually can act as
your child’s headboard. The small bed has an elegant headboard. A conversion
kit will turn our crib into a lifetime bed following the natural course of your
children’s lives. The chest of drawers has also been designed with children in
mind. In fact, you can easily attach a soft changing area to it and when you
don’t need it, it transforms back into a comfortable chest of drawers. Unlike
most changing pads the pad on this changer is made of treated leather that is
hand crafted and smooth to the touch. A favourite piece of course is the
rocking nursery chair for nursing or story- telling time with parents and
grandparents alike.
Never before has
this kind of heirloom quality furniture been available for the nursery and
through our travels we have encountered a jewel, a furniture maker based in
ancient woodworking techniques and quality that is quite simply jaw dropping.
