Meander with your Leander




Thanks to Metromum, you can now meander through your home with your very own Leander cradle.

The Leander Cradle is the product of human-centred design, created to anticipate your needs without compromising the look and feel of your home. Timeless elegance, innocence with sophisticated modern lines combine to deliver a stylish, practical addition to the home environment.

You can now cater to your baby's needs, with the flexibility to set up a resting zone external to the nursery. As a designer and mother, I need to work in a creative space within my home. Unfortunately, the concentration I required meant this space was in a quiet area, at the back of our home. The Leander Crandle has transformed the way I work and enabled me to manage the challenge of my dual role more easy. The rhythmical movements made my son's movement contributes to promoting a tranquil environment. It almost puts me to sleep!

From a design perspective, The Leander Cradle has it all covered. It can be suspended from a hook in the ceiling or in a tripod (available separately) which allows you to move it around the house. The tripod as well as the fabric canopy are accessories. When unclipped, the Cradle can be used as a mobile bed. My other half has seen the benefits to being about being able to fulfil his childminding duties without missing a football game, or falling being with work. He has pretty much put a hook in every room!!

Our Leander Cradle does have a "home"... in the nursery. It has inspired me for future nursery design. Imagine including the neutral tones of the canopy-style cradle in a vintage, French style nursery?
