My Wife And I Still Don’t Have Our Herman Miller Eames Lounge Chair, Yet They’re Marketing Child-Sized Versions

Edit: Please see the first comment below for clarification on this post.
I’ve been eyeing an Eames lounge chair and ottoman for about 5 years now but haven’t been able to justify the purchase of one. One day, I keep telling myself… one day I’ll have one in the living room.
Well, it seems that some children don’t have to wait for “One day” as you can now buy child-sized versions of Eames and other designer furniture. On the one hand I look at this and think, ‘ that’s soo cool’ and on the other I seethe with jealous rage.
I suppose that if I can’t afford the original I could hopefully buy a pint-sized version and position it carefully in the room to downplay its size.
So from what I can tell this robot baby carriage promises to keep your baby happy and comfortable while you and your spouse are taking care of routine tasks around the home. From the BMGK Co Ltd website you’ll find it promises to:
- provide a comfortable chair from which your baby can watch you work
- provide an equally comfortable cradle when junior falls asleep
- act as a swing when baby wakes up. Oddly the swing isn’t in a pendulum motion but rather what they describe as a horizontal sliding motion. Weird
- provide a ‘maneuvering’ mode that as far as I can tell is very roomba-like and moves around the room without hitting furniture. Hopefully it knows what stairs are as well
- clean up easily, allow you to move it manually and hold a charge for over 3 days
I don’t know about this one. If anyone’s had an opportunity to try one out I’d love to know how it works. If it lives up to the promises then the $500.00 price tag may be a steal.
