Netto Collection Royal Blue baby furniture at Barneys New York

Manhattan interior designer David Netto, who created the mid-priced, midcentury- style kids furniture line Cubkids ( www.cubkids.com), has become the first nursery furniture designer to be featured at the Barneys New York flagship. For the trendy retailer he has created the upscale , which takes its name from the vivid nautical color of the two pieces: a crib, with a slide-out storage shelf underneath, and a four-drawer dresser with a changing top. For modernist parents who want a change from the usual white and pastel baby furnishings, sophistication does not come cheaply -- with bleached-oak details, labor-intensive blue lacquer finish and limited-edition production, each piece is $2,750. They can be ordered through Barneys New York, 9750 Wilshire Blvd., Beverly Hills, (310) 276-4400, or by calling (866) 996-3886.
