A stylish baby’s firsts with DwellStudio

When it comes to babies and tots, every first is cherished – the first step, the first family photo, the first family trip – the list goes on. And wouldn’t it be more fun when these firsts are celebrated in style? DwellStudio knows how these firsts are treasured by every proud mom and dad and with its unique sense of color, unwavering commitment to quality, and innovations in design, you’ll surely want to celebrate these firsts with DwellStudio.

Dwell Home Furnishings was founded by Christiane Lemieux in 1999 in an effort to bring modern textile design to the world of home. Christiane was soon joined by Jennifer Chused and later by Christiane’s husband, Joshua Young. The New York -based company quickly established itself as a leader and innovator in the bedding market – and expanded to a fuller offering of home furnishings products. Dwell launched DwellStudio in November 2007, a name that combines all the existing Dwell, Dwellbaby, Dwellkids and Dwelltable lines into a cohesive brand. DwellStudio has since evolved from its inception as a textile company into a trusted home furnishings brand.

Constantly refining designs through the exploration of color, pattern, and form, DwellStudio reinterprets and reinvents what it means to be modern. It strikes a balance with bold colors and prints and patterns that can be mixed and matched to create a truly personal space for babies and kids. The brand has captured the hearts of proud and uber stylish mommas like Gwyneth Paltrow, Julia Roberts, Angelina Jolie, Liv Tyler, and Katie Holmes. DwellStudio has always been committed to quality, safety and the environment. All their prints were made using low-impact dyes, which do not contain heavy metals or other known toxic substances. They are also Formaldehyde free, AZO-free and meet all criteria for eco-friendly pigments. DwellStudio has also initiated a re-design of their packaging to eliminate PVC and utilize eco-friendly materials. The products now come in bags or boxes that can be reused for storage, laundry, and travel for zero waste.

Its 2009 Baby & Kids print collection is inspired by illustrators as well as art itself, using a series of hand drawn and painted prints creating designs that will make your baby’s first room truly adorable, engaging and inspiring. Lay your baby down the DwellStudio crib set which include a play blanket, bumper, fitted sheet, and crib skirt. The Geometry pattern will have your little ones stimulated with circles, hexagons, triangles, and other shapes. Baby girls will love the Dragonfly crib set with hand-drawn dragonflies soaring through a soothing landscape of milk chocolate, butter, and rose. The best-selling graphic pattern in bold colors, the Dots crib set is the perfect way to stimulate your baby’s sense of sight while starting them out in stye.

Babies and tots love moving vehicles and with the Transportation crib set, they are sure to get loads of cars, buses, cabs, and even a Zeppelin! The Garden and Motif crib sets bring the outdoors right into your baby’s bedroom. Inspired by the Danish and Italian toys of the 60’s and 70’s and the color palette of Italian designer Gio Ponti’s interiors of a hotel in Sorrento, Italy, the Gio crib set lends playfulness with squirrels, kangaroos, snails, and clovers. The Organic collection is made from the finest Portuguese organic cotton, grown without any chemicals, pesticides, dyes or bleaches.
