Have you gazed at your child’s Stokke Tripp Trapp and mused that it looks like a work of art? Well, you’re not the only one.
New York’s Museum of Modern Art has a brilliant exhibition on display until November 5, which explores children’s design from 1900 to 2000. The centrepiece of the Century Of The Child: Growing By Design exhibition is a giant Stokke Tripp Trapp. It fits perfectly with Stokke’s description of the Tripp Trapp chair as a modern classic.
The maxi chair aims to give adults a three-year-old’s perspective (and who wouldn’t want that?). The premise behind the Tripp Trapp has always been to put children at the same height as adults, to allow maximum interaction. This exhibition piece takes the theory to a whole new (very high) level.
If you happen to be in the Big Apple over the next couple of months, drop into the MoMA, and take a wander through this stunning exhibition.

We have three too! We also have the newborn insert this time, our little girl is only just 8 weeks old and we love it, she watches me cook and enjoys all the interactions with her brothers. I think they are a work of art beautiful clean lines that never date, as per previous comments something they will always have.
Our children have always sat at the table with us from a young age and used the Stokke table top on our table another fantastic product.
I agree with previous comments please support original design :). I wish I had the opportunity to try out that maxi Tripp Trapp! I do believe it is a very comfortable and supportive seat for children, that allows maximum interaction and independence from an early age.
We are about to get our third for the third wee baby about to join us! we love them for the versatility, the fact that the kids can easily climb up and down themselves and that they can, from a very young age sit at the table with us.
Love that they are doing an exhibition! Our boys 2 and 4 use them every day. Lovely design!!
