apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Striking, yes, but if I was rocking a baby (which, as I understand, often happens at night when you're longing for your nice comfy bed) I'd want something that was a little more comfortable than fiberglass with a high gloss urethane finish. Like maybe a cushion in there somewhere? Also, you'd have to keep your knees awfully close together to even fit into the thing. Oh well, at $6000, I'm never going to have to worry about it, but sheesh! Sometimes designers go way past innovative design, and forget about function, imho.

I agree smallcitybeth. I was wondering if, upon being presented with this chair as a gift, the new mother thought something along the lines of, "oh geez, what the hell am I supposed to do with this? I can't hurt his feelings but I'll kill me and the kid in this contraption. Crap."

A chair for mother and child should have arms so that you can rest your arm while nursing or bottle feeding the baby. also when rocking the child to sleep.

It seems to be one of those products where the artist is happy if just one person buys it. One really sadistic person, one person who puts aesthetics above all else. Its a piece of art and I imagine the user will be the buyer. I would hate to get it as a present. LOL
