This response made me laugh in a whole other way:
We have an ultra modern home. None of the photos in the NYT article come close to how our modern our home is which resembles the Kaufman house in Palm Springs, and is clean in its design. As a result we do not have lots of clutter, and have chosen elegant B&B Italia pieces, and naturally there are a few hard edges in the tables, and other areas such as the stairs, since we combine metal with wood. Our daughter, now 23 months, has basically adapted to the furniture, learned to respect things and is wary of taking risks on stairs etc . We brought in a safety consultant who handed us a list of about 30,000 changes to be made, and all with the gadgets he'd supply us (cost left off here!) Nothing replaces constant monitoring of your home and child. I make sure i know where she is at all times. Homes with the baby gates cluttering up the spaces, make no sense to me. So you let the child loose for what? I have friends with more danger safety traps in their traditional homes with curtains with dangerous pulls, and clutter galore. Id have to argue that our clean modern home is much like an open gym for our daughter, and well, hopefully she'll have great taste too when she gets older!
