Modern High Chairs for Today's Children

When I was a child all we had was the boring furniture of the day with absolutely no style what so ever. Today things are much different and you can convince your children early that you are cool and have good taste. It is apparent that there is a demand for luxury baby products and the grown up are willing to spend a little more to get style. As I reported earlier, when it comes to simple functionality it is very hard the beat the Tripp Trapp chair from Stokke, but here are a few high chairs that really have a modern touch.

The Fleurville Calla High chair from industrial designer Yves Behar is a well rounded very non traditional high chair that will be right at home in a modern décor. Also shown is the Nest by designer Sally Dominguez that not only looks great but has height adjustable functionality so as you child grows the chair will go from a highchair, to booster seat, to a regular chair. Both of these models are made from UV stabilized polyethylene that is very durable and cleanable.

If you want to know the history of the products you buy for your child, ducduc would be a good place to go. Based in New York City with manufacturing facilities in Connecticut, ducduc is a company that attends to every detail, from sourcing sustainable hardwoods from Northeast US forests to providing living wages and benefits to each of their employees. Among their extensive furniture collections, the
Austin Crib caught our eye for its slim profile and functional flexibility.

The Austin Collection features two full sets of bedroom furniture—one for infants and one for bigger kids. The Austin Crib features four settings for mattress height that can be adjusted as the baby grows, along with fixed side rails for safety, and a rail conversion kit to let toddlers transition into a regular bed.

Like all of ducduc’s products, the Austin crib is made with wood sourced close to the factory in order to make sure that their furniture heads to its owner’s home with a small footprint. The crib has only non-toxic finishes and adhesives, and contains no particle board or MDF, both of which run the risk of containing formaldehyde.

In addition to their furniture collections, ducduc has a number of textiles that add accents of brilliant color and dynamic patterns to any modern kid’s room.
