Who says children’s furniture has to be cutesy? Plenty of the stylish pieces at Galt Baby, which opened in 2007, will fit gracefully into sophisticated homes: sublimely minimalist Oeuf cribs, sleek Monte glider chairs and Bloom Baby loungers, which fold down to a mere 4.5 inches. I love the vivid Lumen mobiles; artist Joel Hotchkiss designed them to hang from the ceiling rather than the crib, so you needn’t take them down when the baby can stand. (They were once on display at the Museum of Contemporary Art.) You’ll also find eco-friendly brands, like Mustela, which makes almost completely natural skin products for designed newborns and their moms.
Galt Baby is the second offshoot of Galt Toys, a few stores down, which carries the hottest strollers (Stokke, Quinny, Valco Baby) in lemon yellow, magenta and other delicious colors, as well as Corolla dolls and a wonderful selection of toys.
