valencia-based design studio culdesac has developed the 'ovo high chair' for spanish children's furniture brand micuna.
with their design, culdesac wanted to make sure the chair was an object which would translate well into the contemporary
living spaces of today. made from polypropylene with wooden legs and details, besides its aesthetic compatibility,
the high chair also reaches functional demands and includes washable fabric, baby reins, an adjustable tray and footrest.
the 'ovo high chair' was presented during valencia design week 2011 at micuna's showroom.

Excellent work.

It's too bad there is no an extra tray, more like a square shaped one thar runs along the front rack.

Although, I suppose that circular tray and its excentric position (for the picture) is part of the beauty of the chair.

Pretty nice form, can't help but wonder how it would look after my three children had used it for several years, I think too much weight has been given to the aesthetic (in the aesthetic vs durability argument, that tray for example, would last about two minutes if there was an older sibling that likes to swing off things!

wich program do that perfect render? :)
Joan   09.27.11
I really like the aesthetics of this chair and the fact that it is modular, so a longer product use cycle.

@Joan; I do not think that it is a render, but a picture of a real model/prototype.

this is too good to be jaime,s

@ hola, I see more of a Grcic influence than Haydon's in this work, nonetheless, this is quite well executed but I wish the tray would be positioned in front and its form more related to the way toddlers interact with high chairs.
DsgnCrit   09.28.11
its horrible!!!
O   09.30.11
I think it´s Hayon´s influence too

Yes, would love to know where to find it.

I'd like to see this chair after a year in use - I reckon it would be knackered. Also why do designers design children's chairs to be little versions of adults chairs? This strategy usually, as in this case, ends up with the results being ridiculous.
