Mother/Child Dining
This dining table for mother and child is based on the metaphor of the special intimate moment of feeding your child. This feeling goes much deeper then just giving food; mother and child are almost one, as with the umbilical cord before birth. In this way the furniture has to be one too. Dimensions and form follows the function: table width is based on the length of my arm with the spoon towards the mouth of my child. I’m sitting sideways because that’s the easiest way to sit for feeding. Two sides of the table are completely closed; it’s impossible to join a third person. All these specific reasons that define form and finish do match completely with constructive needs.
Designer: Steenkamp Maartje

Wonderfull & ludic

Too much edges. It’s not safe for a baby. The concept is not bad.
future concepts says
love the design, but agree with viktor about the safety.
jonas says
I think the concept is o.k. BUT – children grow too fast for a fixed chair design such as this is to be very successful.

amme says
the concept was good but the safety should be priority when design for baby.
Jerry Black says
Nice idea, can see too many health and safety issues for it to become a reality ‘as is’.
……….and for those of us who are left-handed….?
rodrigo says
i like the idea but it doesn’t seem very ergonomic though. and babies grow fast: what other use could you give it?
Jay Jung says
What if you’re left handed..?
