Shoe designer steps into nursery furniture realm with new product collab

LOS ANGELES — Modern nursery brand Namesake has teamed with shoe designer Sarah Flint to produce the Sarah Flint x Namesake Crawford Glider featuring a pattern exclusively created by Flint.

Flint, who is a new mother of twins, developed the floral lattice design, available in blue or green, for Namesake’s slipcovered, pillowback Crawford Glider and matching gliding ottoman.

Flint has her own Italian-made luxury footwear brand that is popular among red carpet celebrities. “I wanted to collaborate with Namesake on this Crawford Glider because I designed my own nursery in all their pieces,” she said.

“I started the design process with a watercolor of bleeding hearts that I hand-painted from my mother’s garden and I later composed the print by interlocking the florals to make a flowing lattice design. I love layering colors, prints and textures in unexpected ways and with this print, I know have a little piece of my mom in my own twin nursery,” she said.

Namesake created Flint’s design in an eco-performance fabric made with 30% Repreve recycled fibers. The swivel glider meets Greenguard Gold Certification after testing for more than 10,000 chemicals and volatile organic compounds and features CertiPur-US certified foam and FSC-certified wood frames.

The Sarah Flint x Namesake Crawford Swivel Glider sells for $699 and the ottoman for $349 through Namesake’s website and through furniture retailers.
