Concept
This product was inspired by my niece Alia. It was my first experience in using CNC technique to achieve a clean and precise lines and forms.
The combination of the two functions (children’s high chair or step ladder) would lengthen the use of this product so that when the child grows older, the product can still be used by anyone else in the house. This goes especially to mothers who need it to reach high places in the kitchen. Alia is so practical that it can be used either in the kitchen or dining area.
