We take a look at the legendary Stokke Tripp Trapp chair designed by Peter Opsvik.

The Stokke Tripp Trapp is a remarkable chair whose design has become a symbol of good design, and whose silhouette has served families around the world for several decades now. The modular design transforms over time just like the little man, accompanying him throughout his journey in maturing. Tripp Trapp is a one-of-a-kind piece of furniture - for life.

The history of the Tripp Trapp chair begins in 1972 at the time of the. Norwegian designer Peter Opsvik pointed out that his two-year-old son, named Tor, has begun to outgrow his high toddler chair and is no longer able to sit comfortably at the family table. Those were the days when only chairs for the smallest children or simply for adults were available in stores. This insight, and the realization that there was no furniture that met the needs of children and parents, became a turning point and laid the foundation of the thought that started a revolution in the look at chairs dedicated specifically to children, and it was Peter Opsvik who created a solution that allowed children to sit fully ergonomically, healthily, comfortably, and to function normally with their parents during moments together. The simplicity of Tripp Trapp's design, the durability of the piece of furniture and its extraordinary functionality have gone down forever in the history of world design as absolutely revolutionary.

Wanting to solve just one problem, that is, the lack of a chair that allows the child to participate comfortably at the table at the stage from 2 to 5 years of age, Peter Opsvik found a holistic solution, bringing to life a chair whose design serves the child at each age stage, evolving with him from the very beginning. The creation of the Tripp Trapp chair resonated with the industrial design industry, instantly becoming an icon of Scandinavian design as a design that is extremely functional, simple in form and completely free of "unnecessary" elements. The timeless silhouette of the Stokke Tripp Trapp chair is a piece that will enhance any space. Tripp Trapp chair will be spotted in top interior design magazines. Stokke Tripp Trapp offers one-of-a-kind solutions focused in a perfect, simple, minimalist design while maintaining the most important feature - functionality and product longevity.

Stokke Tripp Trapp | 0-6 Months

The chair can already serve the smallest infants from the moment of birth until they reach about 6 months of age. An essential element to create a complete structure suitable for such a young child is the Newborn Set. It is a comfortable recliner mounted on a chair at a level that allows very close contact with parents. There's a reason it's mounted at the apex of the Tripp Trapp chair. It has been empirically proven that toddlers are very sensitive to distance relationships and how they are treated during meals. This not inconsiderable psychological factor has become the philosophy of the Tripp Trapp design, in which the height of the chair corresponds to the standard tables at which adults eat, so that the child from the period of infancy takes part in family life at the table on an equal level and equal terms, as close to his family as possible. This is extremely important for the child's psyche and is t huge advantage of the Strokke Tripp Trapp chair, which is really worth paying attention to.

Stokke Tripp Trapp | 6-24 Months

Time flies, and the children are literally growing like yeast. After about 6 months, the toddler is already able to sit on his own, which completely changes his needs in relation to the chair and, importantly, his spine. Here we come to the aid of the Baby Set, which is adapted in size and shape to a child who requires special care at the stage when he or she is already participating in table interaction more consciously and with greater involvement. Tripp Trapp Cushion, or pillow, is actually more than just a pillow, it is a soft material that acts as almost upholstery surrounding the entire Baby Set from the back, to the sides, to the bottom. The design of the Baby Set allows for additional expansion of the chair with an element that is often indispensable - a tray. 6-24 months of a baby's life is very demanding, at this stage the combination of Tripp Trapp chair with Baby Set, cushion and tray, creates an ideal piece of furniture that will meet the expectations of the most demanding children and parents. The multitude of color versions of the chair and accessories allow you to customize the silhouette of the chair to suit your individual space and preferences.

Stokke Tripp Trapp | 3-5 Years

This is the stage when everything slowly becomes simpler. After their third birthday, toddlers are ready to sit in their highchair on their own already without the help of the Baby Set insert. Frets in the Stokke Tripp Trapp design will allow you to individually adjust the height of the chair's components to achieve the most comfortable support for your child.

Regardless of the gender of the child, the size of the child, you have the freedom to adapt the chair to the requirements of the toddler. Both the height and depth of the elements are adjustable. Your child's comfort and health are of utmost importance to support him both during meals and during playtime. As in the previous stages, the child is at the height of the standard table at all times, and in no way does his position lower in relation to the rest of the household during the time spent at the common table.

Stokke Tripp Trapp | 6-11 Years

At this age, children begin to use the Tripp Trapp chair in a broader context and often for a longer amount of time than before. The chair no longer fulfills its role solely during meal and table play, but is moving into a phase tailored to the student. Tripp Trapp will be perfect as an ergonomic desk chair, where the spine requires a proper seating angle during every longer study and additional activities. Peter Opsvik has devoted his life to designing ergonomic chairs adapted to today's lifestyle, in which the length of time spent sitting is unnaturally long and harmful to our bodies. The Tripp Trapp chair meets the designer's strict guidelines here.

Over these few years, it will be important to adjust the child's leg support, and both the height and depth of the elements on the same principle as in previous years are adjustable to the individual needs of the child.Dedicated Junior Pillows for an older child also available HERE
