EVERLASTING BEAUTY
Aristot bassinets feature expertly molded and interchangeable pedestal bases in a selection of modern forms and finishes, allowing parents to mix and match their design aesthetics. Aristot bases are an essential component in the modular design of these bespoke pieces.
EARLY MEMORIES TURN INTO...
The Aristot story started with a vision of creating an heirloom-quality bassinet that grows with families. As children age out of the baby stage, these pieces transform from bassinets into beautiful ottomans and tables.
HOW IT WORKS
Build Your Aristot Furniture
Select a bassinet to match your décor. Each piece has interchangeable pedestals and bassinets in a variety of fabrics and finishes. Once your baby has grown out of the Aristot bassinet, the base can be paired with an ottoman or table.

Designed with Your Family in Mind
The luxury lies in the details. Selective Aristot bases transition from a bassinet into a beautifully designed piece of furniture. The steel pedestals perfectly complement and enhance the converted tabletop or ottoman. Available in matte black, silver, rose gold and yellow gold, the contemporary bases can be selected based on your décor and design sensibility.
“Simply stunning and love the fact it becomes a keepsake for years to come.”
