The advantages of "Made in France"

For several years now, made in France has truly been on the rise in many sectors, including furniture. Better quality, greater durability, respect for the environment, support for local businesses... There are a great many reasons that push consumers to opt for made in France, and this is also true for children's and teen furniture.

So what are the advantages of made in France? What are the other criteria to consider when choosing your furniture? What furniture for a child's room or a teen's room?

Why choose made in France?

Whether it's to get yourself a teen bed with storage, a wardrobe, or even a table, made in France has many advantages.

Quality and expertise

When we hear "made in France" regarding furniture, we generally also hear "quality" or "expertise". French history is indeed rich in numerous craft techniques, which makes the design of French furniture particularly precise and of high quality. While there are of course disparities, favoring made in France allows you to put all the chances on your side to opt for a piece of furniture of beautiful quality.

Durability

With quality of course comes durability. A well-designed piece of furniture, made with beautiful materials, will be all the more durable over time. It's not uncommon to see French furniture last for many years, even generations.

Supporting the local economy

Buying French also means supporting French companies, even from a local perspective. If you want to help promote French employment and preserve know-how within our borders, it's better to support French companies.

Respect for the environment

Opting for French furniture allows you to choose a product that won't have had to cross half the planet to reach you. Moreover, there are many companies that favor more sustainable and eco-responsible materials and methods. If you want to limit your impact on the environment when making your purchase, it's preferable to choose made in France (more information on eco-responsible furniture here).

Compliance with safety standards

Whether you decide to opt for a children's bed with storage or a bookshelf, precise and strict standards will govern the manufacture of your furniture. French manufacturing indeed complies with a number of safety regulations, which guarantees safe daily use.

What are the other criteria to consider?

Beyond made in France, there are other criteria you can prioritize if you want to make the right choices in terms of furniture

Opt for ecological wood

Favoring ecological wood allows you to further limit your impact on the environment when choosing your furniture. We generally speak of ecological wood when it is FSC or PEFC certified wood. This labeled wood comes from sustainably managed forests to limit your impact on the environment.

Favor materials with low formaldehyde content

It is also preferable to favor materials with low formaldehyde content or solvent-free paints. These materials thus limit the presence of volatile organic compounds. This choice is particularly relevant for a convertible children's bed or a baby crib. This helps to preserve the well-being of the little ones.

Made in France for a child's bedroom

If you plan to furnish your child's room, made in France seems to be an excellent choice for all the reasons mentioned above. At Nateo, we offer made in France furniture for all ages, from birth to adulthood.

A made in France cradle and crib

From birth, you have the option to choose made in France by opting for a cradle and then a crib. To limit expenses and make an even more eco-responsible choice, we recommend choosing a convertible children's bed. This transforms from a baby bed to a child's bed. It will be even more durable over time.

A children's bed made in France

When your child is no longer old enough to sleep in a crib, you can put them in a 2-year-old child's bed. Older children can benefit from a wide range of possibilities. For example, you can choose a children's bed with storage if you lack space, like the OSLO trundle bed with storage for example. We can also mention the mid-height children's bed, the children's loft bed, the children's house bed, the Montessori children's bed, or the children's bunk bed. All you'll need then is to find a children's mattress to complete the set.

A teen bed also made in France

The advantage with 90x200 cm bed formats is that they are also teen beds. Thus, your children's bed with storage will naturally become a teen bed with storage. This type of furniture can therefore follow your child as they grow. By choosing a piece of furniture of beautiful quality, you won't need to change it as it will last for years without moving.

So don't hesitate to favor made in France for furniture throughout the house and especially for children's furniture to benefit from many advantages.
