ABOUT THE COMPANY
Oeuf evokes the image of simple, clean and intuitive design. But there’s so much more…

Before the economic meltdown plaguing the world today, before green and eco friendly were the new buzz words and hottest trend, there was Oeuf. From the beginning, Oeuf has believed in designing products that offer real value to consumers without ever compromising on quality, of the highest order. From making a conscious choice to manufacture in Europe versus China; from offering their clients furniture that is not only high quality but also multifunctional: a crib turns into a toddler bed, prolonging its usefulness far beyond the infant years; to always being mindful of its impact on the environment and the communities it serves. This is Oeuf.


This is also Oeuf: Sophie Demenge and Michael Ryan. A French/American husband and wife team that is steadfast and relentless in its goal to keep Oeuf true to its mission. As part of a new generation of design-conscious and environmentally aware parents they had to consider a cross-section of factors as they endeavored to clarify the modern nursery. Rather than producing a multitude of products, they decided to streamline the accommodations of their new lifestyle into a few essential pieces. Oeuf’s mission has become to make those essentials practical and stylish, without compromising quality and safety - their top priority.

Name of product: Joovy Nook Highchair  
Department: Gear 
Company: Joovy 
Price: $119.99 Introductory price. Regular Price: $159.99

Expected to arrive in February.

Why is it exciting/interesting:

The Joovy Nook is amazing. First of all, it looks fantastic!
It has clean lines and is unobtrusive in any kitchen. It wipes down easily and you can take the entire seat cover off and put it in the washer and dryer.

It folds completely flat with one hand.
The best thing about it is the tray swings open. Many high chairs claim to have places to store the tray but it is always a cumbersome project to get the tray stowed away. This swing open tray makes it easy to store the tray and to put your child in and out of the high chair. PLUS, the tray has a removable tray on top that can be easily popped off and rinsed after a messy meal (it is dishwasher safe too). In the daily grind of parenthood, it's the little things that are so great. It is so nice when a product performs and helps to simplify your life.

Built with a wipe-able 5 point harness to secure your child. 

Care and Maintenance for the Joovy Nook Leatherette Seat Covers:
Seat cover may be removed for washing. Wash in cold water, gentle cycle and hang to dry. Seat cover can be washed a couple of times during its lifetime.

High Chair Weight: 15 lbs.

Minimum Child Age: 6 months

Maximum Child Weight: 50 lbs.

Highchair Dimensions: 43"H x 24"W x 28"D
