When I was in design school, I was taught three main qualities that a room must have. The first is function, then mood and most importantly harmony. These are the three areas that I will be focusing on in my blog every week.
I’ve always believed that buying good quality furniture is the first step in designing your nursery. So when asked to design a children’s room in the 2009 Portland Street of Dreams, I knew that the Stokke Sleepi would be the perfect fit! Stokke is a company that has been around since the ‘70s and for good reason. The products they create are designed to grow with your child from birth to their teenage years and even beyond for some products. I chose to use Stokke products for the room because of their functionality. I wanted to show that a Childs room could still be fun without being too juvenile. I like it when a Childs room can evolve with the child. The Stokke Care was set up in the desk configuration with the Tripp Trapp as the chair. The Sleepi crib was set up as the junior bed. (See image below)
Function: Because of the many stages the Sleepi can go through, starting at the bassinet and going all the way to 2 chairs as the final configuration. The crib is also 2” smaller than a standard doorway, allowing you to move the crib to any given room at your convenience! It comes in 5 different wood finishes making it easy to match with current décor. It is Eco-friendly, the wood the Sleepi is made from is cultivated beech-wood that is FSC certified then stained with 7 layers of water-based stain. I chose the Care for the same reason, it starts as a changing station and turns into 2 different sized desks! And when you’re child no longer has a need for it, you can use it as a bookshelf or entertainment stand! The Care is also made of cultivated beech-wood and comes in 5 wood finishes.
