What manufacturers of baby goods have a good sense of design?
Was horrified at a 'Babies 'R' Us' store recently -- most of the things are hideous. All playpens save for one were, inexplicably, in industrial colours -- really, prison colour schemes. Silly, dust-catching frills on everything. Strollers looking like they're designed to haul garbage to the curb. The cribs were okay, but all identical. The high chairs made me long for the wooden antique at my family cottage (beautiful, but a hassle to clean, but most on the market now look like a hassle to clean), or the formed plastic simple thing I had as a tot. I'm not even going to get into how disgusted I am that everything's branded and festooned with licensed characters.
Besides Stokke and their $$$$ lovely line, where can I find stuff that doesn't outrage my sense of aesthetics? Given that we're likely importing a car seat from the Netherlands (long story...), I'm not adverse to importing; do the Japanese make nice stuff? Any recommended sites?
Must be nice to have the money to be picky.....
Have fun!
