The chair for your little baron - or baroness
This slightly wacky chair is know as 'the Baron', and I can quite imagine that any small person sitting on it would indeed be suddenly bestowed with an air of nobility. Is it those shiny silver legs, perhaps? Or the booster cushions?
Discovered on Dutch site Baby-S, the Baron chair comes in a mix-and-match trio of vivid shades including lime and pink, or a more muted graphite, and costs a cool 195 Euros.

Marbelous fun
For parents who wish their children would stay a little longer at the table during mealtimes, the Marbelous might just be an essential purchase. Not that it's going to teach your kids any table manners; indeed, it's far more likely to teach them to play with their food, especially if what you're serving up happens to be spherical: peas, sprouts, garbanzo beans - all run the risk of being propelled down the integral marble run rather than eaten up. But what fun!

DwellStudio Junior Book Shelves
These new junior bookshelves from DwellStudio are really quite nifty. Carved from one piece of wood, your child can store a few choice books in a truck, snail or elephant. A very nice addition to any playroom or nursery, indeed. And better yet, a nice neutral array of colors. The $170 price tag is a little hard to swallow, but if you've got the bucks, why not get all three? Of course, you might wind up on a wait list as they are all sold out on Design Public.

Coming this November! Monte's Tavo high chair
New from Monte, the makers of sexy gliders and the streamlined Ninna-Nanna bassinet, comes the chic Tavo high chair. Besides a pleasing, modern silhouette, Tavo features a cushy seat in black or brown bonded leather, perched atop a sleek maple base. The chair pulls up to any standard height table and would definitely look good in almost any contemporary home. Also available at Mini Jake.

Thomas Wold Block Party Credenza
It's tough when you have limited space, especially if your living space also doubles as your children's play area. That's why it's important to find furniture that does double duty for you. This credenza is part of the Thomas Wold Block Party collection. Not only does it look sleek and modern, it is also a tad playful.
A great place for your little one's books, puzzles and other play things. Want to store some "Wheels on the Bus" in there and play it as well? The back of this piece comes ready for your entertainment system. Of course, as eye pleasing as this credenza is, it also comes ready to put a significant dent in your wallet at $3990.

Loom Storage System
At first, I really liked the look of the Loom Storage System. The more and more I looked at it, though, I realized that it kind of resembled something from Ikea. Which is a good thing, since I happen to love that place. Of course, then I looked at the price tag.
The whole set up is pretty nice, if you're itching to spend $1100. However, the cool trolley base can be purchased separately for $400 (and the trolley doesn't actually look Ikea-esque). You can roll it out from under the storage system, use it as a seat and pull it up to the base unit/desk. Very multi-purpose. Very cool.

Baby Harry Bertoia
Crazily expensive, just thought I'd let you know though, that this chair can in fact be manufactured from over 2500 strands of closed-cell extruded sponge cord that is hand knotted and powder-coated one of six different colors; you choose. Amazing!

Folding Stool from Takashi Sato
While looking around the Moco Loco site the other day, I came across this really cool folding stool from designer Takashi Sato. Sato was born in Japan and only recently began showing his wares in Stockholm and Milan. The stool is made from plywood and felt and is collapsible. I'm thinking that this would be great to have around your apartment for those impromptu playdates (that is if you don't have the space for chairs for each tot). You could tuck these away neatly in a closet or under a bed. Not quite sure how much these go for, but it would be cool to find something that looks this cool but is still affordable.

The ducduc Table Highchair
Well, this was a kind of interesting find here. A very good looking highchair, indeed. I personally didn't spend a lot of time figuring out what kind of highchair we needed and actually wound up buying (and being very happy with) the Kuster K2 highchair on a whim. Cheap it was not. Apparently, though, highchairs can be much much more expensive - especially when you are purchasing a specific piece of furniture to mount it on. The Table Highchair ($125-$150) by ducduc is actually specifically designed to be attached to the ducduc table bench ($675-$825). For safety reasons, some websites will not even sell the highchair without the purchase of the bench - yikes! Guess you'd better be pretty sure that this is the highchair you want for all of your babies (current and future).
For what it's worth, the highchair is available and a plethora of cool fabric colors and designs.

Russell Mackenna bed
Isn't this Russell Mackenna bed great? Solid, useful-looking, yet imbued with just enough whimsy via the fishy finials and wave headboard. You can choose your own colour scheme (and swap the finials for others if you prefer) - and at over two thousand dollars, rightly so, I guess.
Another find via Apartment Therapy.
