When I was a child card board boxes offered hours of entertainment and fascination. I once turned a box that housed a new stove into a space ship, then a pirate ship, and finally at days end, it became a post office. Not once did i think of turning it into a functional highchair!
I have seen this crazy chair floating around the web and in a few industry mags for a year or two, but have yet to see it in person. I love its simplicity, and its reuse, reduce, recycle pathos. It is the brain child of Turko-Australian designer/visionary Betul Medakbas . She realized what the world needed was more flatpack cardboard children's furniture, and so, with the help of noted Australian cardboard designer Anthony Dunn, Belkiz was born.
I have a strong feeling that I have not seen one for sale yet due to all the safety hoops this chair will have to jump through. Its own website -Belkiz.com , displays and informs us beautifully about the chair and its functions and sustainability, but does not offer any place to purchase it. We will have to wait a little longer for the world to embrace Cardboard baby furniture.
