INTRODUCING THE HILO KIDS’ CHAIR
With the introduction of the HilLo chair, AGE Design (AGE) raises the standard in design of children’s furnishings. The first of several new children’s products to be introduced by this talented, young design firm, the HiLo chair is where intelligent design meets contemporary styling. The colorful, dual-height chair serves parental aesthetics for modern interiors, while keeping toddlers well seated from 6 months to 6 years.
On first impression, the HiLo kids chair looks basic with its one-piece molded plastic seat held together by wild cherry wood folding legs that is easily adjusted by a two-button pullout aluminum mechanism. In fact, with one easy maneuver, the seatbelt-clad chair conveniently swivels from high chair to under-table chair. Yet, the HiLo chair’s subtle, less-is-more design features go further than most modern high chairs. From the 3-point seat belt and intentionally curved armrests to the raised, plastic tray lip, crotch bar and ultra resistant nylon wheels, each added design feature is strategic, clever and understated.
“The HiLo chair is intended to win people over gently, with intelligent and simple solutions rather than attention-grabbing bravura and complicated features,” says Geneviève Grenier, design partner. “As industrial designers, my husband Patrice and I simply want to achieve a better chair. By better, we don’t just mean more attractive or more functional, but all-around better at being part of the human environment.”
The birth of the HiLo chair fills the void in the marketplace for a modern high chair that is simple, stylish, functional and affordable. Looking more like a piece of furniture than a traditional baby chair, the HiLo chair retails for $299.00 (CDN & USD) and comes in six refreshing colors of Asparagus, Carrot, Portobello, Raspberry, Blueberry and Chocolate.
