TRIPP TRAPP- Chair that grows with the child

Posted: 05 Jun 2011 07:18 AM PDT



The Tripp Trapp chair, created in 1972 by designer Peter Opsvik, is still one of the greatest & unique child's chair after almost 40 years in production. The inspiration came from watching his own young son, Tor, struggle to find a comfortable position to sit in at their family table. Thus, Peter Opsvik designed the Tripp Trapp chair: the only child's chair that can take you from baby to adult, keeping you secure and comfortable all the way.



A design classic, The Tripp Trapp chair is an ingenious baby chair designed adjusts to the size of your child, ensuring he or she is always at the perfect height to eat, play and interact, with his or her feet properly supported, at whatever age.

"In 1972 the only sitting devices for children from the age of two onwards were special, low chairs, or ordinary chairs designed and intended for grown-ups. My objective was that one chair should seat persons of all sizes in a natural way at the same table. My hope was that this would make sitting at the table more enjoyable and make activities easier to perform there."~Peter Opsvik
