Childrens Paper Chair

Tired of your child writing all over your newly painted walls? Well, the solution has been created by Charlotte Friis Design Studio. More of an art piece, it has been made to look like a roll of toilet paper. As the child uses it one side of the paper roll decreases and the other side increases. Since this occurs, it shows the child's growth also. The intention of this artwork was to make a comment about the use of our paper.

The Chair is made with drawing paper and as the paper is being scribbled on over time, the size of the front cylinder increases parallel to that of the child's growth. Confused? Here's how it works, clean paper is in the back and is transferred from the back cylinder to the front. Simply put, the child has to roll the front cylinder backwards to get clean paper. The amount of paper is approximately 1500 feet, which means that it could last as long as 5 years!

Talk about a 3-in-1 product. It's a drawing pad complete with its own chair, a child's scrapbook of artwork from over the years, and is environmentally friendly!

This is definitely going on my Christmas list. Ahem. I mean, it is going to be bought for my little my cousin. Sadly, pricing and availability was not mentioned. That doesn't mean that I won't be on the lookout for it though!
