Leander - Amazing Furniture to Inspire the Imagination!



When children sit or lay down, they don't stop moving, wriggling, playing and exploring! Movement stimulates their senses and inspires their development - something that Leander not only accommodates but positively encourages!  Throughout the design of every piece of child's furniture, Stig Leander always looks to combine clean, soft lines with the playful element, looking to spark imaginations and creativity.


Leander Cot Bed

The Leander Cot Bed is a piece of furniture that is both functional and beautiful. It grows with your child from birth through to junior, with all the parts needed to transform it along the way included. Five different steps allow your child to gradually transition at their own pace from the comfort and safety of the cot through to the independence of their own bed. The elegant yet simple design will sit well in any bedroom, with soft rounded edges and a gentle egg-like shape that appeals to children and adults alike.

Stig Leander says of the Leander Cot Bed,

"By observing children’s lives it became clear to me that the bed had to change with the child – and be part of the child’s universe.

The Leander bed follows the child so he or she does not experience those changes in the environment that can seem insecure in the world of a little child. The bed is constantly the same and can be adapted to the child’s stage in life.

I have retained the soft, oval expression and have deliberately designed the elements so they are not an angular system of blocks. I have tried to combine the simple, the functional and the aesthetic – and the materials had to be friendly and solid. I wanted to create a piece of furniture that delights and raises the quality of life.

The special shape also means that the bed is a natural and, not least, recognisable entity at all stages of development. Even though the bed changes and develops, it is still the same. Just like your child.”





Leander Stool Set

Extending the focus of movement and play, Stig Leander has worked with designer and Occupational Therapist Tina Smidt to bring out a gorgeous Stool Set comprising of a table and two stools, perfect for little wrigglers!

As children sit on the stools, the slightly pivoting seat is pressed forward, giving an ergonomically correct natural sitting position and allowing movement and play. The seat returns to a neutral position when the child stands.

Like the Leander Cot Bed, the Table & Stool Set are made of beech wood from sustainable forestry and surface treated with water-based lacquer to protect your child and the environment.
 
Leander Nursery Furniture
The award-winning Leander Changing Table grows with your child, making it a great investment and a perfect choice for the family who love great design and function. It is ergonomically designed to adjust in height while you use it as a changing table, avoiding backache for the parent and making it more comfortable to be close to your baby.  The changing table has a generous changing area, a spacious drawer and a good sized shelf below.  Once your child has grown, simply convert the table to a neat desk.  Sustainable, sleek design and compact! 
If you love the clean lines and gentle curves of Leander's designs,  you will love the Leander wardrobe and dresser - a perfect addition to your baby's nursery or child's bedroom. Designed with the characteristic rounded edges of Leander furniture, there are no sharp edges and the drawers have soft-close to avoid trapping little fingers. The wardrobe has a hanging rail, drawer and an adjustable shelf, whilst the dresser has four spacious drawers for clothes, nappies and soft toys, and plenty of room on top for books, a mirror or those extra special toys!
