Children's Chair by Peter Hiort-Lorenzen for Cado, around 1970

About the Item

This playful children's armchair by Peter Hiort-Lorenzen is a perfect embodiment of the vibrant and innovative spirit of the 1970s. Crafted from injection-molded ABS plastic and dyed a bold orange throughout, the chair adds an energetic accent to any room. Designed with both function and fun in mind, it offers the unique feature of two seat heights that can be easily adjusted by simply flipping it over—making it a versatile piece that grows with its user. Reflecting the design trends of the Space Age, Hiort-Lorenzen’s chair is not only lightweight and practical, but also a refined piece of furniture that captures the essence of the era. Its clever design, striking color, and playfulness are hallmarks of 1970s design, alongside the work of other notable designers such as Verner Panton and Joe Colombo. This chair is not just a functional piece of children’s furniture, but a rare collector's item, embodying the imaginative use of plastics and playful forms that defined the decade. The manufacturer’s label marks its authenticity, making it an even more sought-after find for collectors and design enthusiasts alike.
