The Nexus is a junior chair designed for the growing ones in your home—bridging the gap between a high chair and a standard dining chair.

Why buy a Junior Chair?

1. Posture Meets Presence – Unlike oversized dining chairs that leave little feet dangling and little bodies squirming, our junior chairs are ergonomically designed to support growing kids at the table once the high chair phase is in the past.

2. Designed for the Whole Room – Forget bright plastic and cartoon prints. With clean lines, rich hardwood finishes, and a nod to mid-century elegance, our chairs seamlessly blend into your dining space — because children’s furniture shouldn’t clash with your style. A mix a frames and seat choices allow you to tailor the chair to your existing colour palette and space.

3. Built to Last – Crafted from solid hardwoods using traditional joinery techniques. These are durable enough for daily use and still pass on to the next child or even next generation.

These are made to order. Current delivery time is two weeks.

Background

Here’s some details from its creator on how it came about:

“The idea to create a junior chair came from a couple of key realisations. The first was that, for a piece of furniture that feels quite temporary, a junior chair often remains in your home for a surprisingly long time. They’re useful from around age 3 up to at least 8 years old—that’s a minimum of five years. If you have more than one child, it will likely be passed down, meaning you might have a junior chair at your dining table for 8 to 10 years. That’s nearly a decade of daily visibility, so why not make it an attractive addition to your dining space?

The second realisation was the lack of choice on the market. While there are countless high chairs for the early years, there’s very little available for the next stage. In my own experience, a junior chair nicely bridges that gap to a full-sized chair. And since children are often the heart of the home, it made sense to name the chair Nexus.”

Nexus Definition
noun
1. a connection linking two or more things
2. a central or focal point

The Nexus is available in a range of hardwoods – walnut, oak, cherry or ash. That covers an assortment of colour tones to complement your dining space. In addition the seat can be supplied in a different wood to the frame. This creates some further possibilities to tailor the look, e.g. a walnut frame with a lighter toned seat.
