Artist Shi Jinsong created this pointy piece of bladed baby furniture for mini warriors. The cradle is made out of Klingon-style blades, and is part of a collection called “Ne Zha - A Child's Boutique.â€
Ne Zha is thought of as a youthful hero who refuses to grow up. He has three heads, nine eyes and eight arms; a perfect monster for a nightmare.
Implications - Infants may be too young to enjoy the luxuries of life, but that hasn't stopped parents from providing the best for their offspring. Whether it's fashion, cribs or strollers, luxury infant items are stylizing babies for adults looking to make their babies an extension of their luxurious lifestyle. While toddlers are obviously not demanding material objects in their young age, it's clear that it's the parents that businesses need to satisfy.
