At 3daysofdesign, Carl Hansen & Son relaunched the high chair that was designed by Nanna Ditzel in 1955. It was in production until 2002 but then failed to meet new standards of stability for children’s furniture.

In this new version of the chair, the angle of the legs has been increased to make the base wider.

The chair still has a foot rest with three possible fixing points so that it can be moved to lower levels as a toddler grows but the new version has an optional plywood back rest that is shaped and curved to fix inside the hoop of the top rail and there is an optional brass plate that can be inscribed with a name and date as the first stage to make the piece a family heirloom. The underside of the seat is drilled with holes for the plate.
