Barcelona Chair


The Barcelona Chair is an icon. Designed in 1929 by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe but in the early 1950's exclusive manufacturing and sales rights went to Knoll who have been making it ever since. It's lovely. Made to order, you're looking at least £3K but there are many good reproductions out there.

Vintage High Chair

If you want this, you need to get a wiggle on. It's on eBay with just a couple of hours left. Bidding is currently at £6.01. It's a highchair which goes in to a seat and table. I love it.  And on the high chair note, if you're looking for some original and funky cushions for highchairs, you need to get in touch with Brighton designer, Sophie4Sophie .  She's just created some custom ones for my Tripp Trapp. They're brilliant. I will feature them here soon.

The Eero Aarnio Ball Chair

This little lady shows us just how cool the Eero Aarnio Ball Chair is. She's rocking that chair at the Sit Down exhibition at the V&A. It's from the 60's and already a modern contemporary classic. Available from DesignShop UK from £6500 but you can get cheaper reproductions, such as the £350 copy from Furnisho . And big thanks to Bambino Goodies for the use of this image. If you're looking for more cool stuff for your under 4's, click over there now. It's addictive. I swear.

Condesa chair by Sentou Edition

Forget the set of drawers, it's the chair we're talking about here, specifically the Condesa chair by Sentou Edition. It's a take on the 'basket' chair common in the 1960s. Only this one has a structure in black powder coated solid steel with epoxy resin, while the seat is in plastic rope with UV protection. Which means it's good for in, out or in your conservatory. Three colour options, all selling for £305 . Via Retro to Go .
