It’s a tale as old as time: carefully curated home explodes with garish plastic paraphernalia the second its owners welcome a child. But while the lore is longstanding, it’s something of a self-fulfilling prophecy – one that it is possible to avoid succumbing to if you have the right designers on your radar.
German brand Cybex is leading from the front when it comes to creating innovative family furniture that doesn’t compromise on aesthetics or functionality – principles exemplified exquisitely in its latest launch, the Lemo Platinum highchair.
The Lemo Platinum is undeniably a striking piece; the shape and materials are inspired by natural elements, with minimalist rounded edges and sleek tapered legs. The transparent tray attachment carries a distinctive branch motif that echoes the beechwood frame. In short, it could not be further from the standard baby kit of days gone by, with its bright and busy patterns and synthetic sensibilities.
What's everyone reading?
However, you’d be wrong to assume this is a case of style over substance – the Lemo Platinum has been created with practicality and longevity in mind. It’s suitable from birth, when used in tandem with the equally chic Platinum Bouncer, which attaches to the highchair or can be used standalone, and is equipped with a secure five-point harness. From six months onwards (or whenever your child becomes a confident sitter), switch to the baby set. Then, the seat itself will see them through toddlerhood, childhood and beyond, and can ultimately be adapted for use as a dining chair – which anyone, of any age, can perch upon comfortably.
While the Lemo Platinum may be its shiniest new unveiling, Martin Pos, Cybex’s founder, stresses how the fundamentals of design have always been a crucial part of the brand’s DNA. ‘We are revolutionising how parents approach their interior lifestyle,’ he says. Indeed, the brand’s guiding proposition is the D.S.F. innovation principle, which represents a combination of distinctive design, the highest safety standards and smart functionality; qualities that make its furniture pieces timeless purchases rather than temporary placeholders in your home.
If a highchair can be considered an heirloom in its own right, our money is on this one to become the model each generation returns to.
