Few parents in Western society are still raising their children to be the sorts who sit up straight and don't speak unless spoken to. Flip for Kids embraces a more colorful style of bringing up youngsters, allowing them to move, play and create their own worlds.
This unusual abstract object may actually be familiar to you as Marco Hemmerling's TriWing Chair, but here it has been adapted for safe use by toddlers. Its dimensions have been reduced to a maximum of 70 centimeters, and weighing just 3.4 kilograms, it has been manufactured from a durable foam that boasts a coating of elastic, breathable and hypoallergenic plastic.
The Flip for Kids can be oriented vertically in three positions and horizontally in two. It comes in six vivid hues to bring fun into the look of children's furnishings.
