Pavone Peacock Chair by Riccardo Dalisi, Limited Edition for Zanotta, 1981 Italy
Located in Chicago, IL
Peacock chair by Riccardo Dalisi released in 1986 for Zanotta's Edizioni Series dedicated to limited edition artistic designs. Named Pavone, Italian for “peacock”, the bird after which it was designed. The fanned feathers are depicted with small yellow round circles at the crown-tipped back. The feet are bird-like and painted yellow. A peacock’s neck, head and beak descend down at the front of the seat and are punctuated by a coral-colored worm that we can imagine the peacock wrestling to its mouth. Made of steel, the chair has an unqualified strength of material with an undeniable poetry of design. The empty space counts as much as the tangible parts. Dalisi, an artist, architect, designer and poet at the forefront of early Italian radical...

Antique, New and Vintage Children's Furniture

When you’re shopping for antique, new and vintage children’s furniture, you’ll want your choices to fit nicely within the decor scheme of the rest of your home. But you’ll also want to create an alluring and inspirational space for your children to feel relaxed and encouraged creatively. Indeed, a child’s room can be simultaneously stylish and playful — the ideal environment for children.

Understandably, beds were the first piece of furniture designed for young children. In Ancient Egypt, children’s beds were scaled-down versions of adult beds. They were intended to be a logical size for a child and low enough to the ground so that they could climb in by themselves.

Historians discovered early high chairs in Ancient Greece. In the 6th century B.C., a child’s training potty might have also been used as a high chair, while archaeologists on a dig discovered a terracotta high chair in a marketplace in Athens. By the Renaissance period, children’s bookshelves were popular with upper-class families who had disposable income and the desire to beautify all areas of the home. The original purpose was to organize school books, but shelves eventually became integral to children’s rooms of the era.

In the early 20th century, Italian physician Maria Montessori changed the way designers thought about children’s furniture. She wrote that it was important for children to have a safe environment of their own that they could easily navigate. Montessori believed that children’s furniture should be sized for them but that it should also be made of light, durable materials so that it’s easy for them to carry if needed.

Today’s widely known mid-century modern furniture designers took interest in the idea that young children should have well-crafted furniture of their own. You can find vintage mid-century modern children’s furniture created by the likes of Harry Bertoia, Charles and Ray Eames and Alvar Aalto. Contemporary industrial designer and architect Philippe Starck is also known for having introduced versions of his furniture that were geared toward children, especially his seating and storage solutions.

It’s never too early for good design. Decorating a child’s room offers the opportunity to combine elevated furnishings and a youthful spirit and can result in spaces that are at once elegant and whimsical. On 1stDibs, find design ideas for children’s rooms as well as a variety of new, antique and vintage children’s furniture today.
