We're Winners! Four Prizes at Junior Design Awards 2024
We’re thrilled to share that Gaia Baby has received outstanding recognition at the 2024 Junior Design Awards, winning across four categories! Known for our commitment to combining elegant design with practical functionality for families, these awards affirm our passion for creating baby products that meet the highest standards in quality, comfort, and style.
Here’s a closer look at our award-winning products from this year’s Junior Design Awards:
1. Serena Mini Cot - GOLD - Best Cot/Cot Bed Design
Taking home the Gold award, the Serena Mini Cot exemplifies Gaia Baby’s dedication to creating innovative sleep solutions for little ones. This beautifully crafted mini cot is designed to offer comfort, safety, and style in one elegant package. With its sleek lines and compact form, the Serena Mini Cot is perfect for any nursery, providing a cozy and secure sleeping environment for your newborn to up to 2 years. There are options to turn the Mini Cot into a Bedside Crib or a full-size Cot Bed with the optional Bedside Crib Add-On and the Cot Bed Extension.
This is what the judges had to say:
"This is a worthy Gold winner. Not only does it look stylish, but the convertibility of this crib gives it longevity too, making it a very attractive sustainable option. I love that each conversion kit is sold separately so parents can use it for as long as they need without storing loads of extras."
"This is a lovely crib option. It ticks all the boxes for parents looking for something unique and aesthetic but also practical. Love the castors, the 100% birch (no composite/MDF), and the convertibility from mini cot to first bed!"
"Style, sustainability and versatility all in one product. Fantastic. We're massive fans of Gaia at Junior."
