How do we make our cots?



 How do we make our cots?
Here at Woodly we are very, very attentive to children's health; for instance, we're the only, and I stress ONLY, firm which finishes off its cots and cribs with shellac and bee-wax. It's a beautiful, silky and strong  finishing, so healthy that you could eat it. It costs us more, but who cares.
Do you know what is shellac? It's a natural varnish, obtained from the secretion of an insect, Kerria Lacca....
And don't make that face, honey is a secretion as well! It is a natural laque, used to finish off antique pieces of furniture and valuable musical instruments,  such as guitars and violins.
Our timber is FSC certificated (it stands for:  forest stewardship council), good and sturdy and made to last. And our Futons are made just out of pure, not treated, cotton.
We make every single piece by hand, taking care of every tiny detail, me (Valerio) and Massimiliano with his magic touch.

Montessori Floor Bed

Woodly Crafts Gorgeous Cradles & Montessori Floor Beds for Green Babies & Kids

 

 Based in the hills of Parma, Woodly takes their commitment to sustainability very seriously. All of the wood they use is certified as ethically harvested, and water-based glues, beeswax, and paints keep their pieces free of dangerous fumes. Their facility uses electricity from 100 percent renewable sources and has been renovated to achieve maximum efficiency standards.

They currently offer three designs for their line of baby furniture. The Roll is s suspended cradle that allows the bed to gently swing. Four cotton ropes attached to a ring allow for easy setup, and once outgrown can be converted as storage for the child’s room. The Pluma cradle consists of a soft bed mounted on strong wooden legs. Its mattress is made from cotton and spelt husks for comfortable and chemical-free rest. The Montessori cot for older children rests on the floor and resembles a hand-crafted race car. Easy to climb in and out of, the bed is great for nap time or play.
All of Woodly’s furniture is available for order on their official website. Prices range from about $529-$732. Harkening back to the days of fine craftsmanship and quality materials, the company strives to make long-lasting and multi-purpose furnishings that can be handed down through generations instead of tossed into the landfill.

And after the cradle, when your baby grows, a playful cot, Montessori style, for total freedom. The child can easily climb on and off the cot, but the side edges will prevent possible night tumbles. Built in solid beech wood with mortised joints, and no glues, finished with hand applied traditional shellac and beeswax.
