Behind The Design: High Chair Edition

Who knew a high chair could be so much more? Our design team! "Kids grow up so fast" says Product Designer Vladimir Anokhin. "As designers, we are acutely aware of this and aim to make our designs adaptable as children grow." Follow along as Vlad and Design Director Benjamin Bearsh talk us through the evolution of our Sit-To-Step and Eon High Chairs.

meet the DESIGNERS

BEN BEARSCH, Design Director

Skip Hop’s head design honcho (and dad of 2) got his start in furniture design and might have been a sculpter if he wasn't a designer.

VLAD ANOKHIN, Product Designer

A self-described morning person (he roasts his own coffee!), Vlad's childhood obsession with cars inspired him to become a designer.

"A high chair is a suprisingly complex thing to design and we needed to work as a team to solve a problem.”–BEN

take a peek at THE PROCESS

"We love to incorporate wood to tie-in with contemporary home décor. It also bring it out of the realm of 'kids' furniture and into the realm of 'real furniture'."–VLAD

design team INSPIRATION

food for thought

“My go-tos while working are coffee and dark chocolate for a snack throughout the day." –VLAD

make some noise

“I listen to music a lot while designing. I love reggae, soul music, electronic music, and rock music.” –BEN

book smarts

“I love reading short stories. Italo Calvino and Jorge Luis Borges are my go-tos—just the right mix of absurd and thought-provoking and a great way to shift perspectives.” –VLAD
