Leeds nursery designers win two top awards

Knuma Furniture, a Leeds based nursery furniture manufacturer, are delighted to announce that they have won two major design awards for their groundbreaking Huddle+ Co-sleeping Bedside Cot.

Junior Magazine gave the Huddle their Platinum Award in the best cot/crib/pod design category. Then quickly followed that by announcing that the Huddle+ had won one of the first Junior Absolute Design Awards which were created to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the magazine.

The award was hotly contested with 20 other finalists carefully selected from a range of nursery goods by a panel of experts.

Christian Ritson, Knuma’s Design Director said “We are extremely proud to have been won two Junior Design Awards. Winning these awards puts Knuma among the best of the best in the industry and shows that our dedication to bringing excellent product design into the nursery is recognised. Being awarded this, over established brands such as SnuzPod and Chicco’s Next2Me, is a clear sign these is a desire in the nursery market, and desire, for superior quality furniture which has longevity once children have outgrown furniture’s initial use.”


Junior Magazine’s Editor Bonita Turner said “I really like its versatility and longevity of the product – and the fact that it can turn into a first desk.” Another judge on the panel, Gabrielle Spang of Scandi Mini, an online shopping destination for parents who love individual design, commented “This product has great design and durability.”

The crib’s unique features make it stand out amongst all the other competitors: As well as a co-sleeping cot, a stand-alone crib, and a portable bassinet, the Huddle+ transforms into a child’s desk and bench for children up to 12 years of age, making the product multi-use, long-lasting and great value for money.

The advanced design of the Huddle+ gives parent’s quick access to their baby for night feeds and comforting without the need to leave their own bed. It also has 10 height settings ensuring it is compatible with nearly all adult beds.
