Muscat: The world’s most luxurious baby bed, that’s covered in 24-karat gold plating and lined with Swarovski diamond-encrusted quilting, will soon launch in Dubai.
The Luulu bed that is priced at $60,000 (220,000AED), costs more than a year’s rent on a two-bedroom apartment in the Burj Khalifa and was manufactured by a team of yacht builders.
The bed will be revealed at the four-day INDEX interior design exhibition set to take place in Dubai in March.
According to the manufacturer, the bed has been designed to “mimic the feel of being in the womb, while offering parents a chic, high-end piece of furniture to add to their home”.
Partners Marta Buzalska and Dariusz Panczyk who run the company from their home in Poland said that they produce three different cot-styles and the white and black beds are more affordable when compared to the gold one. The couple said, “While the price tag of the gold Luulu might put it beyond the reach of most people, the white and black beds – starting at $6,000 (21,000AED) – are guaranteed to be prized investments.”
The couple added that the bed was designed keeping in mind premature babies. Marta said, “We created a nacelle where a baby could feel like he or she was still in their mother’s womb.”
While the exterior has gold plating and diamonds, the interior has “the finest quality leather imported from Italy, more commonly found inside Maserati cars”.
Each cot is handcrafted and makes use of the same materials as the factory’s (that manufactures it) most exclusive yachts.
