Stainless Steel Baby Furniture




Welcome to the Na Zha Baby Boutique....OK so this range of baby furniture looks a little scary and it would be awfully cold not to mention oh so dangerous.

No these products aren't the latest range of baby products available from China. They were designed by leading young sculptor Shi Jinsong . These were displayed at an exhibition at Chambers Fine Art to demonstrate his many talents as a sculpture.

He sculptured other products for baby such as a baby walker, rattle and bottle, however I couldn't bring myself to place a picture of them on my blog as they really are too scary.

To read more about how Shi Jinsong came about to design this range click here to read more.
