MasonGray is a burgeoning sustainable furniture company for children that hopes to inspire families to reflect on fond memories. Meant for the children of design-savvy parents, the MasonGray furniture collections are all about the journey, according to David Harris of MasonGray. “These pieces will remind you of places and people, like a lake house or your family vacation from the past,” he explains.
The MasonGray furniture, which includes cribs, beds, and dressers, are offered in different non-toxic, water-based colors, glazes, and washes. There are four collections—Savannah, Regency, Stonington, and Georgian—and while each collection has its own theme and appearance, the pieces from different collections can be mixed and matched to create unique combinations.
