One of our favourite brands of 2008, Bloom Baby have consistently impressed us with their product releases this year. Bloom was founded by four dads who wanted to bring contemporary design and intelligent innovation to a range of baby products that had traditionally been funtional but out of sync with parents’ sense of  design.  Bloom strives to design simple, clean and iconic forms that blend seamlessly in contemporary living spaces.

Bloom does not use polycarbonate in places where the product could come into contact with food - instead they use a higher quality food grade plastic.  All Bloom products are free of wood PCP, formaldehyde and other toxic wood preservatives.  The wood originates from certified sustainable beech and birch forests. Bloom also understands environmental responsibility originates by creating quality products that are designed to last for years and years.

Check out Bloom’s full range of contemporary baby products here which include the Fresco high chair, Fresco Loft, Coco Lounger, Nano high chair and Otto table and charis. Stay tuned for some exciting new Bloom launches in 2009. Want to win a Bloom Fresco Loft High chair valued at $799.95? There are just a couple more weeks left to enter bebe and Bloom’s Fresco Loft giveaway. Read about this competition right here.

We couldn’t think of a more apt or fitting product name for Bloom Baby’s latest accessory - the Bloom Snug. Designed to fit the Coco Lounger, Fresco High Chair and Nano High Chair, the Snug fully supports babys neck and  provides full comfort.

We’re not suprised that the innovators at Bloom have gone the extra step in ensuring that the Snug is naturally organic and environmentally friendly. Created with 100% natural Bamboo soft fabric and is both anti-bacterial and anti-allergenic. We’ll be receiving our first delivery of the Bloom Snug ($74.95) in approximately 2 weeks. Stay tuned for this online, or pre-order via our Melbourne store (03) 9821 4405

We love Bloom baby for their sleek baby furniture and unique sophisticated edge. Their new exclusive EI collection features a unique black (“ebony”) or white (“ivory”) finish. Designed by Davy Kho from Ytra Design, the EI collection  includes the ultra-modern Loft highchair, Ebony Rocker and Ebony Black Nano High Chair.  Who said babys and black don’t mix?

Stay tuned for more exclusive innovative solutions for contemporary living spaces from the Bloom EI collection later this year.  In the meantime, check out Blooms latest releases  here.

I vividly recall there being so much hype around the Bloom Baby stand at Kind & Jugend trade fair last year that getting up close to Blooms prototype Luxo Sleep Cot was virtually impossible. While the Bloom hype is still abundant, it seems our friends at Bloom Baby wisely gave themselves a little more space on their stand at ICFF last week.  Whilst it could be compared in appearance to the Leander Cot (with its curved ends), the Luxo Cot differs very much in the elements of structure and assembly. It also converts to a toddler bed and designed to last until a child requires a single bed.  Bebe will confirm pricing and availability as soon as this comes to hand.
