Amsterdam designer Laurens van Wieringen presents Stacking Throne a piled-up child’s chair at Ventura Lambrate this week. 

As the child grows the seat can be lowered by removing up  the foam components, which can then be used as toys or reconfigured into shelving.

Here’s Laurens van Wieringen talking about his project:

The Stacking Throne was a private commission and especially designed for 1 year old girl, Bodile. She can now use it throughout her life. 4 of 5 foam parts can be taken out and used as her imagination suits her. Some girl’s just get lucky!
Material: Foam, soft coating, lacquered wood & steel
Size: 92,5 x 74,5 x 85,5
