Pick-up by Alfredo Häberli

I like the designer's statement for the Pick-Up:

"When my son took his first steps and grabbed a stool to help him, I immediately saw what was needed. PICK-UP is a combined chair, walking aid and transport facility. Now that my son can walk without difficulty, the PICK-UP has become his car, loaded with all his books. And when he has friends around to visit, he takes them for a ride in his PICK-UP".

It encapsulates really well how, for a small child, there are no rules on how you use an item. It must be a great joy for the best of our children's furniture or toy designers, to create an object that can be utilised in so many different ways.

So cool. So, so cool.

But, and this is always the question (isn't it) where can I buy one?

Love it, love everything about it.


Hmm, well, Ricahrd, you might just have to make one, I'm afraid. Although, an email to the designer never hurts.
