Imagine a brand that’s got over 50 years of experience, yet still stays a cut above most modern furnishing? Well, you don’t have to! Cuckooland is crazy for companies that have managed to evolve with their original soul intact, and there aren’t many with the innovative pedigree of Gautier, a French designer that’s been pushing out neat, affordable products for kids since before The Twist was officially recognised as a dance move.
Emblematic of popular modern styles, Gautier know you shouldn’t fix what isn’t broken. Their high-quality wooden beds, wardrobes and storage units (part of their Naturela range) don’t need bells and whistles to make an impression. Clean, gentle symmetry defines the Gautier method; their designs have an airbrushed effect, almost as if long strips of sandpaper have rubbed against them, and left a mark of excellence that children will cherish without knowing it. Gautier’s speciality is kids’ bedroom furniture, and it’s a relief to have a brand that steers away from gimmicks and flash in pursuit of the perfect childhood environment.
Both adolescents and young tykes can appreciate these sleek specimens, since they’re imminently customisable with the quirkiest or most paired-back decors. Whether you’re shopping for children’s day beds, or taking time to scour the right single bed for your boy or girl, Gautier tends to be gender-neutral, opening up the options you might go for. What’s really impressive is their selection of high sleepers, anchoring any bedroom to an all-in-one piece of kit that can’t help but make an impact on wide-eyed mates popping round for tea. Their geometry will highlight books, work pads and knick-knacks sitting smartly on the shelves, giving your son or daughter a crash course in tasteful furniture (not that we want to think about them having their own place just yet!).
Timelessness reaches across every age bracket, and we’re convinced your children will fall in love with these items for years to come. Browse our full collection and watch their journey to maturity unfold…
