Buying furniture for newborns and toddlers might be a fun activity for some parents, but it becomes more of a hassle when the child has outgrown their size or use. Depending on the state of the product, they could resell it, hand it down, or even donate it, though an even more economical solution would probably be if it could actually still be used one way or another. Unfortunately, most kids’ furniture doesn’t have that in mind, which can lead to waste and unnecessary costs down the line.
This aesthetic wooden high chair, however, is designed very differently, almost as if it was made with adults’ peace of mind as well. Easy to use, elegant, and modular, this chair can be used by a child from the moment they are born to the day they grow old and decide they don’t want to sit so high up anymore, even if they still technically can.
Designer:
Furniture for kids are often made with plastic because they are durable enough to withstand the many accidents unavoidable involving young children. It’s also a lot cheaper compared to most materials, but they also give products a certain aesthetic that, in this particular case, is toy-like and immediately associated with kids. Even if they were to remain useful for older ages, very few would want to be caught dead using them anyway.
Click and Fold is a high chair design that goes against the flow by using solid beechwood for its body, giving it a more mature character than most high chairs. This kind of wood is quite hardy against bumps, but not impervious to nicks and scratches. At the same time, however, these “war wounds” become part of the product’s history and charm, just like those pencil markings that record a child’s growth on door frames.
Although primarily made for a child’s use and comfort, the Click and Fold is designed for adults just as well. With a simple push of a button accompanied by a satisfying clicking sound, you can fold the chair up and quickly put it aside when you need more room. Even better, because of its luxurious wooden material and elegant curves, simply propping it against the wall turns the folded high chair into a beautiful design object when it’s not in use.
One of Click and Fold’s key features, however, is its modularity. You can remove the seat and backrest to make room for a bouncer nest for a baby or put on a baby set with a tray when that baby is old enough to eat. The seat and footrest can be moved to any height, so it can function as a regular chair for grown-ups as well, albeit one that might be a bit too high for some tastes. Click and Fold has a visually simple yet aesthetic design that belies its ability to grow old with your kid, extending not only its use but also its value long after that child has grown into an adult.
