The Leander High Chair finally hit our shores on Friday after much anticipation and numerous delays. The chair got the thumbs up on the weekend in-store for its clean, modern design and degree of longevity. The aesthetics of a high chair are particularly important to the modern parent, especially given that it is housed in such a “public zone” as the kitchen/dining room or for many of us in an open plan environment where all rooms are part of one large space.

One of the most common comparisons made is its similarity to the Tripp Trapp High chair. While it’s natural  to draw comparisons on the point of functionality, I believe the two are quite different in overall line and appearance.  When comparing the aesthetics alone of contemporary wooden high chairs, I would think the average punter (not just furniture geeks like me) would either prefer the square lines of a Tripp Trapp, or the curved lines of the Leander or Svan High Chair.  Either way it is clear all three Scandinavian designers have got it right in the increasingly competitive wooden high chair segment.

The Leander High Chair is available in black, natural and whitewash – read more about it and purchase on line here.
