The great advantage of this design is that when the child outgrows the chair, the chair is simply adjusted by a set of longer legs. The parts are extremely easy to assemble, and the child is assured of an ergonomic chair from the age of 1 to 5 years old. This furniture guarantees years of anatomically correct sitting at a low cost, eliminating the need to keep on buying new chairs. Origins, a decorative plastic material, owes its visual impact to the acknowledgment of its origins: colourful post-consumer detergent bottles. The random distribution of colours fully penetrates the material, offering a wider range of potential applications. No additives, chemicals or virgin materials are used in its production. On loan from the designer; material, gift from Yemm & Hart.
