Here’s an interesting concept for a collapsible table by Snappytables. Created as a unique furniture idea for small living spaces and special occasions, Snappytables “gracefully balances form and function with their fluid transformation between awesome table and attractive wall ornament” (the wall fittings are included). The tables are available in various wood finishes, bamboo, and plastic.

Since its creation in 1972 by designer Peter Opsvik, The Tripp Trapp chair has been a dinner table icon. At the time there were few options for children’s seating at the table, and none that would last as long or adapt as well with your child as they grow. In fact there are few now that can. Conceived after watching his child struggle to find a comfortable position at the table , Peter Opsvik’s design creates a fully customizable, yet amazingly simple solution. Originally the chair provided only an adjustable seat and foot rest. While this was enough to accommodate toddlers through adults, the chair did not suit children much smaller than toddlers. Since then many accessories and attachments have been added (baby set, table top, cushions, and a five-point harness) making the chair useful for any person six months to adult and up to 300 lbs.

New to the Ikea line, the Sigurd chair has only been around since January. Designed by Ola Wihlborg, it has a simple, friendly feel (from this angle it seems to smile at you). Chair design has always intrigued me, the need for both form and function to work together. Nothing beats a great chair design. How do people feel about the Sigurd? Instant classic or just another chair?

Established in 2006 by Henrik Thygesen and Sebastian Jørgensen, We Do Wood is based on the vision that eminent design and strict sustainability principles should go hand in hand. I very much agree, and I appreciate the commitment to functionality, design, and sustainability in everything they do. There isn’t a product they make that I wouldn’t love to have in my home. Now that our girls are getting a little bigger, I would love a set of Lilly Chairs and Geo Tables for their room. Besides looking fantastic, they are build to last. The Lilly Chair is the perfect fit for ages 1-5, is easy to assemble, and available in three color variations.
