Injuries among young ones are inevitable amidst any situation but objects like the Baby Bear Chair reduce the risk by incorporating soft surfaces and safe distractions. Providing a scaled-down piece of furniture for children to use and feel grown up, designer Aris Stathis made yet another attempt to engage his target client a little lower to the ground.
The small hardwood chair actually hides four tiny drawers beneath the seat, each pivoting out from the corners at the legs and intended to store toys during tidy up time in the playroom. Children are sure to be fascinated by the secrecy of the concealed cubbies, keeping their bottoms firmly on the floor. Of course, the backrest, cushion and even the four supports of the Baby Bear Chair are covered in a naturally dyed fuzzy upholstery to prevent any impact-related scratches.
