DescriptionDescription: The interest in special furniture for children increased significantly during the 1960s. Stephan Gip’s high chair Robust, with its distinctive globes in red and yellow, can be found in many Swedish homes. Until the mid of the decade, it was sold by the progressive Stockholm store NK-Bo Nu, under the management of interior designer Lena Larsson. Gip later took over the manufacture of Robust.
