Bobo Choses Petit Chair

Bobo Choses are one of my favourite clothing designers for children at the moment. I steam up the virtual windows of shops gazing at their quirky prints which are both chic and playful. When their new chairs popped into my inbox I was all of a fluster. The Petit Chair is an instant design classic [...]

Spinning chair

Got a cool €1,200, and love those spinning cups you find at the playground? The Spinning Chair was apparently inspired by the Hadron Collider, and claims to be the opposite of a rocking chair. That is, rather than calming you, it energises – which is a shame, because I’d chalked it up as something that [...]

Muji Flat Pack Chair

As soon as I saw this cute little cardboard chair on Molly Meg’s blog it was instant infatuation. It comes flat packed for you to build yourself and is fully customisable. Sadly it is only available in Japan (Boo hiss) and so will have to remain an object of international desire until released in the [...]

Lock from Habitat

Habitat  are starting to put their new season stock online and one item that caught my eye is this interlocking table and chair set. Made from oak veneered moulded plywood it’s a modernist set which will blend seamlessly into ‘adult’ spaces. When it’s not in use the two pieces can be slotted together to form [...]

Ikea Watch: Kritter Children’s Chairs

I’ve tended to find Ikea’s kids chairs a bit bland (I have Magis Alma chairs with our Ikea Gulliver table) but they’ve certainly injected some life into them, with their Kritter range of kids chairs in bold primaries and black and er…white. £12.99 each in store at Ikea, mix and match for bold standout. Yellow [...]

Habitat’s Scribble by Hennie Haworth Range

East London based illustrator Hennie Haworth has racked up quite a client list – Waitrose, Urban Outfitters, The Observer, Time Out, and The New York Times to name but a few. She’s now injected her colourful, contemporary, playful illustrations into a chair, melamine bowls, plates, and beakers, plus stationery and storage as part of her [...]

Capsule Chair by Offi

Colour fiend and design obsessed that I am, I was always going to take an instant liking to this capsule chair by American designers Offi. Designed by Karim Rashid (who incidentally also designed the yellow Magino stool for Umbra that I’d like to sneak into the house), the spaceship like seat which has a bit [...]

Chiconomy Buy: Zara Home’s Villa Chair vs Junior Crate Chair

What’s the difference between these two chairs? A lot when you consider that one is a pint sized version of a chair originally designed in 1934 by Gerrit Rietveld that still looks like the wooden crates that they were originally made from back then. The other has deck chair and picket fence leanings and gentle [...]

Normann Copenhagen’s Play Range

If I was feeling flush and had a grand or so to splash around on some furniture for the kids, it might just go to Danish designers Normann Copenhangen’s range of handmade pieces from their ‘Play’ range which is part of their New Danish Modern collection. Designed by Jesper K. Thomsen in this years very [...]

Magis Trioli Chair

Natalie writes… Ah…I do love when I find yet another delight from hot Italian designers, Magis. This time it’s their Trioli Chair which is a multitasker that can be used as two types of chair or a rocker. Suitable for both indoors and outdoors, they’re made from rotational moulded polyethylene. They have a slight Alice [...]

Kids Chairs by Bombarock

Brenda writes… I love these steel framed chairs for the older toddler. The chairs are painted in a contrasting colour and then the wooden seat and back are covered in your choice of four fabrics, including my favourite skulls version pictured. . Available from Bombarock for £49.50 and you will need to fill out a [...]

Le Baron Cocoon Chair

Brenda writes… Oh I love these chairs!!! Perfect for our little ones to sit with us adults, they are so funky and retro in style. Specially created for kiddies, these chairs have metal frames, a wooden base and woollen covers over firm wadding. They are height adjustable and you can use them with or without [...]

Casalino Chair Junior

The boyf and I have recently become obsessed with retro furniture so it’s no surprises that I’m loving the Grass Chameleon, a Casalino Chair (Jr) which is a 70s pop icon that’s been adapted for children. Sleek, elegant, ergonomic, and very robust, the plastic is easy to clean, fade resistant, and non-scratch.

Habitat Nibo Chairs

I love these simple plastic chairs from Habitat. They’re the Nibo range designed by Robin Day. Annoyingly Habitat STILL don’t sell online which is a blessing as I’d spend even more money with them… Nibo Chairs £29 from Habitat
