A Gorgeous Anti-WiFi Crib

This walnut and copper baby’s crib, from French design studio Noir Vif, is absolutely stunning:

Unusually, its mission goes well beyond giving the baby a place to swaddle:

“Argo is a crib made of fine walnut and copper, carefully combined to shield an infant from damaging electromagnetic waves. Named after the mythical vessel that protected Jason and the Argonauts, it gently cradles, shields and reassures.”

“Argo is the product of close collaboration between Ludwig & Dominique’s master cabinet makers and Noir Vif’s designers. Through its design and the new techniques it explores, it opens up new horizons for contemporary cabinet making.”

How times have changed. When I was a kid, my parents were constantly asking me to adjust the rabbit-ear antennas to improve our TV’s reception.
