If the mere mention of high chairs and bouncy chairs fills you with visions of garish patterns and more plastic than you can bear to think of, take a look at the decidedly minimalist chic offerings from bloom baby.
These guys (four of them, all fathers) have looked at the nursery basics, stripped them bare, then added functionality where it's needed and kept it simple where it's not. The result is a cool collection that won't jar with grown-up furniture, and may even upstage it.
The latest additions to the range are the coco bloom plexistyle lounger and the nano bloom urban high chair. The lounger is a curvaceous cutie, its only functions are to rock your baby gently and look good - it does both admirably. The miwipe-clean micro leather seat is available in orange, blue, red, brown, white and black, you're sure to find a colour to complement your home. What can I say other than: it rocks!
The nano bloom urban high chair is a great choice if space is short, as it folds flat when not in use. Your child can sit with you at the table or spread out (probably quite literally!) at the super-sized adjustable tray - this has a deep lip to prevent spills and is reassuringly dishwasher safe. It comes with a five-point safety harness with height-adjustable shoulder straps, has a two-position adjustable footrest, and easy-clean micro leather seat upholstery for comfort. Choose from four seat colours: coconut white, blossom pink, paradise blue and henna brown.
The nano bloom highchair is £100, the coco bloom lounger is £220. For more contact
