Sit on it, or use it as a toy. The MIN.CHAIR offers children (or adults) with numerous options for fun and function.
The MIN.CHAIR is a fun, engaging chair for children aged from five to eight years. Made from a single piece of rotational moulded plastic, the design offers great manufacturing efficiencies and could be produced in a wide range of fun colors. The shape is simple and unique – no legs, and no sharp edge contours. Its appearance is ambiguous at first glance, but after its function becomes known, its cleverness is revealed.
Regardless of the product's position, it can be used as a seat or a toy. It can have various colours applied, and could be used in sets of diverse colour for educational places like kindergartens or the children’s section of the library. This should be helpful in cultivating children's emotional education. However, the universal design principles found in The MIN.CHAIR apply not only to children; the chair can also be produced in a larger version for adults. |
