Janelle Burger for Bold Baby
The artwork on this cot was made in Paris.
This limited-edition Janelle Burger Art Series Cot brings an exclusive blend of contemporary design and deep cultural storytelling into your nursery.
Janelle Burger has lived in France for years. That distance from Australia, from Country, and from the landscape she grew up in runs quietly through everything she makes. This illustration draws from connection: to nature, to home, and to a feeling she carries with her.
The accompanying panels are finished in the rust and ochre tones of the Australian landscape, using colours that carry the same feeling as the work itself.
"I'd like families to know that this art was made with care and honesty," Janelle says. "I hope it brings warmth, creativity, and a sense of joy and calmness into their space."
More than just a piece of designer nursery furniture, this cot serves as a beautiful, soulful anchor for your baby's room.

Janelle Burger grew up in Fremantle, Western Australia. She has lived in Paris for fifteen years. Her work moves between those two worlds, the country she comes from and the city she calls home, and the space between them is where most of her art lives.
Her studio in Paris is where the two halves of her life come together. The colours of Noongar country, earth, sky, the south-west coast, filtered through a city famous for its light. She works across illustration, murals and print, with clients including Apple, Instyle, Frankie magazine and Canva.
The work is immediately recognisable. Bold, layered, alive.
"Being away from Australia has made me hold onto my culture even more strongly. My work often reflects identity, connection, memory, and belonging, even when it isn't obvious at first glance."
– Janelle Burger
Janelle works surrounded by the things that interest her. Found objects, small figures, pigments bought in Italy that turned out to carry colours she recognised from home. Curiosity is where the work begins.
"I hope it brings warmth, creativity, and a sense of joy and calmness into their space."
