High Chair Drama

When I had my daughter Clementine in 2006, I struggled to find a high chair that didn't look like this:

I am by no means anti-plastic, but I am anti-uninspired design when it comes to living with a behemoth beast in the middle of my dining area everyday.

I ended up finding a traditional whitewashed high chair on eBay that I'm semi-pleased with. But now I'm seeing great designs and styles for high chairs everywhere! Where were my options in 2006? Was I just not paying attention?

I found this today: the Ova High Chair by Culdesac for Micuna.

So chic it's painful. 

And I still love the Tripp Trapp which was designed in 1972 by Peter Opsvik:

Here's the Scandinavian Child Anka High Chair. A little cumbersome and not a fluid design, but I still appreciate it. You can buy it here for $179.

Here's the Scandinavian Child Svan High Chair which is a little more expensive at $279 and can be purchased here.

There are tons more cool ones out there. What's your favorite design-inspired high chair? Post the names in the comments section! I'd love to sigh with jealousy over them.
