There’s a new comer in the family of cool and simple children’s furniture : the Argentinian brand called KRETHAUS. Well established in its hometown Buenos Aires, Krethaus is now starting its expansion to other countries, after a successful presence in Milan last month (kidsroomZOOM).
Running the brand, sisters Karina and Vanesa Kreth say they are inspired by designers such as Lucienne Day, Charlotte Perriand and Gio Ponti. Their creations include also textiles and accessories, all targeted to children.
Both Karina and Vanesa have been working together for five years now and they believe in a brand that can mix balance, beauty and most of all practicality. Their design is simple yet cozy and functional with organic properties of natural materials (including Patagonian hardwood, pure linen and cotton).
