Tired of boring plastic chairs for your kids? Design connoisseurs who love Eames and Bertoia fear no more! Your play rooms, family rooms, and any other living area that needs to be design-ified will now be ready for the big league. Because Little Nest has created a selection of modern classics designed especially for kid-sized fun.
Focusing on the all-time giants of modern design, Little Nest has created scaled-down replicas of our favorites. Though we would love the Eames Lounge Chair and ottoman at our house, the more practical Cygnet Table and Tower Chairs might be the perfect addition to a crafty play area. But I can bet kids will be begging for the ball chair, it just screams reading nook/hide-out/blanket fort. Each chair is ready for a 4-12 year old, with a maximum recommended weight of 88 pounds.
Kids Ball Chair, originally by Eero Aarnio, $695
Eames Lounge Chair, originally by Ray and Charles Eames, $899
Cygnet Table and 2 Tower Chairs, $575
The Woody, LCW Chair originally by Ray and Charles Eames, $125
The Jeckle Hide, $299

Wow. You guys seriously need to edit your copy. This is really, really shabby treatment of designers from a design blog. I find it really offensive that you are promoting fakes with real names.
I get that only some of these products/sizes are available in authorized lines but it really pretty shameful for you to be linking to an "Eames Lounge Chair."
It isn't. It is a knockoff. It might be a really great and awesome knockoff but readers of a design blog and the designers themselves deserve better.
I think the smug look on that kid's face is appropriate. $700 chair for a four year old...
Pretty much says "I'm the kid of a 1 percenter.".
It could be licensed, rather than a knock-off.
Wow. Someone's panties are in WAD.
The disclaimer on the site clearly says:
"We respectfully appreciate the masterpiece of the original designs and wish to clarify that our kids bedroom accessories are in no way affiliated with the original designers or licensed manufacturers."
Companies such as Herman Miller own the original designer rites to these products. If they feel that there is a breach in that, or they feel someone has stolen their designs, they do not hesitate to sue.
The company clearly has a great deal of respect for the original designers, and as someone in the design business, I think it's wonderful that children can learn to appreciate these works.
Too bad I can't afford it for my own child...otherwise I'd own several of these.
88 POUNDS? Unless you have lots of kids that will be able to use kid-sized furniture as the older ones grow out of it, it's a total waste of money and energy.
I can't begin to imagine spending this kind of money on a chair for a child.
