Having options is one of the central ideas at my studio. Not just because you might prefer one style over another – though that matters too – but because no single style works for everyone, and that’s as true of chairs as anything else.
I have a variety of child-sized chairs to suit different styles and age groups. They work well for little ones who are happy to stay where you put them, though if your child is mobile there’s always a parent just out of shot ready to prevent any surprises.
They’re also a really useful tool when I’m working with a fully mobile child. Children tend to be drawn to anything that’s the right size for them, and a well-placed chair can be a surprisingly effective way to persuade a busy little person to pause for a moment while the boring business of having their photo taken gets done. I’m not above being strategic if it gets the results we’re after.
Plus, they look great. I do value that.
