apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

As you may recall, father Jeffrey Taras, an architect and a partner in Brooklyn-based 4-pli, designed, researched and built this crib for his daughter, Maeve. With its gentle curves and plump ends, Maeve's crib is round and playful like its namesake. Designed as an antidote to today's slab-sided crib offerings, Maeve's crib will cosset your child well into her toddler years.

Maeve's Crib is a limited edition - only 250 were made. It was even featured in Architectural Record. Selling for £ 1700.00, the crib is available from Bouf. You can also contact 4-pli for more information. We know, we know - that's a lot of money. Here's what Jeffrey had to say about the price in comments from the original post:

The price is undoubtedly high relative to other cribs, high enough that I couldn't afford to buy one at retail, but allow me to offer a few reasons.

When people are paying $1,500 for purse and a few hundred dollars on a pair of jeans, it doesn't seem unreasonable to me to offer a unique, hand-crafted and enduring piece of furniture for $3,500.

For most of us the price far exceeds what we can afford or would be willing to pay for a crib, but that doesn't mean we can't appreciate and admire it from afar. We're here to highlight good design at all price points.
