Furniture pieces like baby cribs are essential but have a limited functionality that is only relevant for a short period, so the 'CoZee XL' has been designed as an alternative solution that would transform capabilities. The furniture piece has a four-in-one design that would function as a bedside crib for the first six months of a baby's life before being transitioned into a cot for the next 1.5 years or so. The unit can then be switched to a junior bed that's great for ages two and up before taking its final form of a sofa that is perfect for lounging when it is no longer needed for nighttime resting.
The 'CoZee XL' is the design work of Michael Samuel and is the winner of a European Product Design Award for 2020.
