Bloom Otto - a space-saving feat

The Bloom Otto children's table and chairs set is one way to keep the invasion of furniture at bay. When we have children, we see our spaces taken over with the accoutrement of modern-day childhood. Of course this is also a wonderful thing as we welcome into our homes all manner of beautiful objects, but some of us simply don't have the space to accomodate it all.

The art of the Bloom Otto set is the way the chairs slide into the inside of the table, and are completely obscured. The backs of the chairs make the table appear to be one piece of furniture, and allow you to free up some floor space when the children are in bed. Every night, my husband and I diligently pack away the toys and move the toddler chair and table to the side of the room, to claim back our adult space. With the Otto, it's as easy as clearing the top and moving the chairs inside to cosy up together for the evening.

With the chairs pushed in, the Otto looks like a high-end side table, superbly formed into a patented shape from stylewood in two colours - mocha and natural. You can choose an optional centre panel in orange, or plain wood. Each end has a slide out tray for quick access and storage of art materials so the clutter is kept out of sight. No assembly is required and it's suitable for use from 18 months on. With such beautiful styling, the Otto is going on my wishlist!

The set is $599.95, from Bébé who ship all orders over $100 free of charge.
