Even the simplest kitchen chair. When a chair has a special design to it we call it a 'designer' chair, but it is still just a chair. I personally feel fine about surrounding kids with 'designer' chairs and educate them from an early age about beautiful or different shapes. For this reason I also like to bring them to museums. Of course, they shouldn't be living in a museum, they should be allowed to play. My kids love to use our Le Corbusier chair as a slide.

I linked from my Daily Imprint blog to this post asking others if they agreed with designer-style furniture for kids. There are some people that love it, and that's why I chose to alert Australian readers to a company that provides this kind of furniture. And there are other people who think it's entirely unnecessary. Me? I love the little retro chair I bought for little C in a second hand shop in Tasmania. It cost only $30 and I sit on it - even though it's kid size - and read him bedtime stories. Megan, thanks for taking the time to comment.

Its the wrong message, doesn't say anything about the child, moreso about the mindset of the parents.
