Lora’s Kid-Friendly NYC Apartment

Living in New York with small kids is no easy feat, yet Lora Appleton, founder of kinder MODERN and kinder GROUND, manages to make it look so simple in her stunning space. Settled on the West side of Manhattan, her home is as enchanting as it is elegant. Always mindful of how the pieces she brought home would marry her aesthetic with her family life, she noticed a void in the market of furniture that is friendly enough for kids’ and adults’ tastes alike. It was this challenge that helped spawn the idea behind kinder MODERN, her contemporary line of children’s furniture. As one might suspect, her home is every parent’s dream of great design, executed with pieces that are conducive to life with a five-year-old son.
