March 2026, Mumbai: Across nurseries and playrooms, a quiet design revolution is unfolding. As modern parents become increasingly mindful about the materials surrounding their children, plastic-heavy décor is gradually making way for something warmer, safer and more enduring: natural materials rooted in craft and sustainability.
Leading this shift is CINTA, a handcrafted children’s décor brand built on the belief that childhood spaces should feel magical, safe and deeply connected to nature.
Inspired by the love parents hold for their children and the communities that sustain craft traditions, CINTA creates thoughtfully designed pieces that transform everyday corners into joyful childhood environments while seamlessly fitting into modern homes.
At the heart of this philosophy lies rattan, a fast-growing renewable natural material celebrated for its durability, flexibility and organic beauty.
The Shift from Plastic to Natural Materials
For decades, children’s furniture has largely been dominated by plastic alternatives. But today’s parents are increasingly choosing materials that are non-toxic, sustainable and long-lasting.
Rattan offers exactly that balance: lightweight yet strong, natural yet refined, and crafted using time-honoured artisanal techniques.
Every CINTA piece is handmade by skilled craftspeople and undergoes multiple quality checks to ensure it is safe for babies and children while retaining artisanal precision and finish.
As families move toward more conscious living, nurseries are evolving from brightly coloured plastic play zones into intentional spaces filled with warmth, texture and timeless design.
Designing Spaces That Grow With Children
CINTA’s newest collection celebrates the idea that children’s furniture can be playful, imaginative and elegant at the same time.
Pieces like the Hide ‘n’ Sleep Sofa create cozy corners for reading, relaxing or imaginative play, while the Havana Kids Bench offers versatile seating that works effortlessly in bedrooms and playrooms.
The Ellie Rocker, available in soothing tones of green, grey and white, introduces gentle movement into a child’s environment, a timeless piece designed for comfort and calm.
For children who love spaces of their own, the Catty Pet Bed playfully doubles as a whimsical resting nook for both children and their furry companions.
Meanwhile, decorative pieces like the Flower Power Vanity Mirror bring charm and personality into children’s rooms, encouraging creativity and self-expression.
Playful Storage & Storytelling Walls
Beyond furniture, CINTA also introduces handcrafted décor designed to spark imagination.
Whimsical wall pieces like Ellie the Elephant, Leo the Handsome Lion, Rusk the Deer, and Geoff the Giraffe transform nursery walls into storytelling landscapes, creating spaces where children feel connected to animals, nature and adventure.
Smaller handcrafted toys like the Nutty Rattle bring tactile charm to early play experiences while staying true to CINTA’s commitment to natural materials.
Craftsmanship at the Heart of CINTA
Founded by designer Rupika Harshwardhan P, CINTA is deeply rooted in a commitment to preserving traditional craft practices while adapting them to contemporary homes.
Founder Rupika Harshwardhan P shares:
“Children interact with their surroundings in the most instinctive way. The materials, textures and objects around them quietly shape their sense of comfort, imagination and curiosity. At CINTA, we wanted to create furniture that feels natural to children while also respecting the craft traditions and ecosystems that make these pieces possible. Rattan allows us to build something that is beautiful, safe and enduring, something families can live with for years.”
