A growing child’s dream
Stig Leander Nielsen, the designer, says: ”I wanted to create a child’s bed, the Leander Bed, as a natural extension to the idea behind the Leander cradle. It annoys me that children’s beds are so traditional, not taking the needs of the children into account. That’s why I wanted to combine practicality of use with simple design language. We develop our products at the level of the child and experience the world through our little ones’ need for comfort and development."
Initially, the cot base can be raised to protect the parents’ back. It is then dropped down to base level to ensure that the mobile baby is safe. As baby turns into a toddler with greater freedom to move, the first Leander bed adaptation takes place: one of the cot sides come off. The child still has the familiar feeling of security of the high sides, it has known since birth but can now climb in and out by itself. As the child’s development progresses, the other three sides come off (all together) and the cot is now a small bed. The child’s growth in height will tell you when to extend the Leander Bed into the junior bed (150cm long). The extension pieces required are part of your initial purchase, so there is no more to buy.
The Leander Bed takes the tradition of Scandinavian craftsmanship and design to a new level of excellence. With its oval shape, carved in Scandinavian beech, the bed is a sheer pleasure to the eye. The mattress is a pocket inner spring mattress with Oeko-Tex 100 Class 1 foam and non-toxic glues. The removable cover is 100 % Cotton Oeko-Tex 100 Class 1 with a 50% cotton/50%polyester filling which also meets the Oeko-Tex 100 Class 1 specifications. The cover as well as mattress protectors and fitted sheets are all washable at 60 degrees. |
