So I’ve been trying to understand the transition we are going through right now when it comes to new products, our lifestyle, the culture around us etc. Times have definitely changed in more ways than one. Maybe I’m pulling this out of my ass, but I could’ve sworn I heard the other day on the radio or the television that there are now more women employed than men in the United States. Is that correct? Anyways that has nothing to do with the rest of the portion of this post except for life is starting to become trendy. I’m also trying to say that things that used to be or no longer what they are today. And I’m also starting to wonder if by the time I’m thirty EVERYTHING will be trendy. It’s a likely possibility.
When I was born, I had a legit crib. The four corners and the bars and all that, but look at this crib! Would you put your child in this? I think I might… it’s effiencent – takes up less room – it’s interesting and unique. I don’t see any problem with it if it gets the job done.
This Culla Sinuè crib is designed by Daniela Avaltroni. To read more about it click here
I just asked my mom for her opinion on it. “It looks like a toilet.”
