profile Made for Measure Peter Opsvik, a longtime specialist of ergonomics, reflects on his iconic 1972 Tripp Trapp chair. text by Aileen Kwun A 2013 portrait of Norwegian furniture designer Peter Opsvik in his workshop, a venue he finds “more suitable for experiments than the computer” (top left). Available in a range of colors, the Tripp Trapp comes with add-on accessories including the Baby Set, which securely seats children from 6 months to 3 years old. An early sketch of the chair shows Opsvik’s concept of an ergonomic design for users of varying heights and sizes. Here, the sitter’s elbow is shown aligned at table height, regardless of body size. An artful reminiscence of Rietveld’s 1934 Zig-Zag chair—with a spare, wooden geometric frame in the shape of a letter Z, and bearing a name equally alliterative—the Tripp Trapp, designed by Peter Opsvik, distinguishes itself from other high chairs in that it allows children to sit closer and more intimately to the family dining table. “I tried to find a chair that allowed our [then-] two-year-son to sit comfortably together with us at the table,” the Norwegian industrial designer recalls. “So I had to figure out the solution myself.” Selling more than 9 million chairs to date, the Tripp Trapp has remained in continued production since its launch in 1972.
