Tamás Máté Nagy, an industrial design student at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics, developed the Heir chair for his senior thesis, which ingeniously adjusts from adult-sized to highchair-height to accommodate the changing needs of growing children. Targeting young families, this chair addresses the transitional period when children outgrow traditional highchairs but are still too short for regular chairs, typically from ages 3 to 12. The Heir chair’s design allows it to remain useful beyond these years, essentially growing with the child and providing long-term functionality. Nagy collaborated with a skilled carpenter to enhance the quality of the prototype, gaining valuable insights into craftsmanship. Additionally, he innovated the assembly process by designing custom 3D-printed bolt heads that can be fastened using just a coin and manual force, eliminating the need for special tools. This feature not only simplifies the construction but also reflects a commitment to accessible and adaptable furniture design.
