While searching for pieces for my son, I have noticed that this Bloom High Chair seems to be one of the most selling baby items this year.

DucDuc gives me goosebumps!

On Designtology I had written about the awesome furniture collections from the company Ducduc based out of New York, which has an incredible amount of modern baby furniture selections from cribs to dressers with a huge assortment of colors and styles.

While the furniture is definitely pretty and functional, the price range is definitely not that of Ikea or Target, but you get a better quality of furniture that will definitely last for many a generation.
