In the 1960s, high chairs were a common sight in households, serving as a practical and essential piece of furniture for families with young children. These sturdy chairs provided a safe and elevated spot for babies to enjoy their meals while allowing adults to comfortably feed them. One captivating image from 1873 showcases the artist's wife Sophie sitting proudly in a high chair alongside their adorable daughters Mathilda and Adele. The picture captures the essence of family bonding during mealtime, highlighting the importance of these chairs in creating cherished memories. Another intriguing snapshot features 21-month-old John Lockey from Perivale wearing an unconventional hat – a baking tin. This playful moment demonstrates how versatile high chairs could be, even doubling as props for imaginative play. Throughout history, various designers have put their creative spin on high chair designs. Dorothy Johnson's hide-bottom high-seat chair from around 1939 stands out with its unique construction that combines functionality and style. Similarly, her child's high chair exhibits elegant craftsmanship that adds sophistication to any dining area. Florence Hastings' hickory high chair from 1938 exudes rustic charm with its natural wood finish. Meanwhile, Frank Gutting's infant high chair showcases innovative design elements tailored specifically for little ones' comfort and safety. Donald Harding's child's high chair from 1942 boasts simplicity yet remains highly functional – a timeless piece that can withstand generations of use. Elizabeth Curtis' sleek design from 1936 offers both aesthetics and practicality with its clean lines and ergonomic structure. An enchanting illustration by Herman O. Stroh depicts "sans gene" or carefree behavior at mealtimes – perfectly capturing the joyous spirit associated with using child-sized furniture like his charmingly designed child's high chair. From historical photographs to artistic renderings, these glimpses into the past remind us of the significance attached to this humble but indispensable piece of furniture: the beloved high chair.
