Bunny & Clyde is a luxury nursery and children’s furniture brand Inspired by a nostalgic love of passing things down through the generations. The brand creates timeless design-led products for the little ones, who are HUGE in our lives. Their range of modern heirlooms, handcrafted in rural Ireland, are designed to be versatile, safe, extremely well-made, and importantly for Moms and Dads too as they transcend the boundaries of a nursery to blend into other areas of the home. With the belief that innovative design and sustainability go hand-in-hand they create pieces that grow with children as they grow up. The products are meant to be enduring features that not only make the family home, but also become much loved family treasures and stories to hand down to future generations.
Because GROWING UP is beautiful…
Nathalie Vos, co-founder of the brand says : “The way that we live today means that there are often less divisions between the spaces in our homes; Products for children tend to be in disconnected with the rest of the home and more often than not, poorly made with inferior materials with the belief that because they are for children, they needn’t last. This way of thinking is endemic of the “throw-away culture” that we have become and something we are passionate about changing at Bunny & Clyde. We believe that when you purchase really well made products that have been well designed, not only does the whole family become engaged in looking after those things, but those things also bring a wealth of well-being and happiness into our lives. As parents and designers, we believe that when we teach our children that products are meant to last a lifetime, we are teaching them sustainable living principles and inspiring a future generation to instinctively understand and appreciate good design. We are making an investment in future generations because after all, our children and their children after that will inherit the world we leave behind for them.”
