DescriptionDescription: The highchair is part of a series of children’s stackable chairs, stools and nests of tables designed by Nils Strinning. Advertised as practical, robust items that withstand rough handling and inspire your imagination to run wild. Chairs and tables served as workstations. The lightweight pieces with sparing use of materials were easy to move. They lay stably on their side if children wanted to rearrange them or build a tunnel, den, bus or shop.
