The origins of the bent-steel cantilevered chair are somewhat murky, but generally three names come up in the discussion. Marcel Breuer is widely credited with pioneering the exploration of the material, Mart Stam seems to be the first to conceive a “chair without back legs”, and Mies van der Rohe is remembered as the one who made it beautiful. It is believed that Mart Stam described his idea—a continuous loop of steel (he used a thinner gauge gas pipe in the earliest versions) with a cantilevered seat—at a meeting of the Werkbund in 1926. In attendance were Marcel Breuer and Mies van der Rohe, both of whom were inspired to design cantilever chairs of their own in the coming months. Mies replaced the right angles on the front legs with a graceful curve which had the advantage of increasing elasticity while preventing material fatigue. Mies first showed the MR 10 and MR20 at the Stuttgart Weissenhof Estate — a seminal Werkbund exhibition, which first brought modernist works to the public, with buildings designed by Peter Behrens, Walter Gropius, Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe and others.
Over the next five years, Mies would develop an entire series of tubular steel designs now presented by Knoll as the MR Collection.Compare plastic wardrobe covers household items made china mr price home baby furniture Yongkang New Way Industry And Trade Co., Ltd.

See more product details Use from Infant to Toddler It’s a reclining infant seat with a fold-out kickstand—great for feeding baby. Adjust the seat upright so baby’s movements create rocking motion—with stimulating toys and music to enjoy. For naptime, you can remove the toy bar and switch on calming vibrations. And as your child grows, the toy bar easily removes and it becomes a toddler rocking chair. When it’s time for rest, a deep cradle seat helps baby to feel comfortable, safe and secure. When it’s time for play, colorful toys, friendly characters and delightful music and sounds stimulate baby’s senses.
Right from the start, your baby will listen to and respond to your voice. Use this connection to point things out about the rocker—the colors, the movement and the characters overhead. A seat for play, a seat for feeding, a seat for rest—and it grows with baby! Bat-at toys keep baby entertained and help strengthen baby’s senses. Calming vibrations and a reclining seat help soothe. Easy transitions let you use if from infant to toddler—up to 40 lbs (18 kg).

Decorating the baby room has been fun and I must admit that I have a stash of things that I’ll probably never use, but this is a learning process and I’m putting together a sizable stash of “new hand-me-downs” for friends’ unborn babies and various charitable organizations.
Our son is half German and half South African – Capetonian to be exact – and we all know that Cape Town folk love to be fashionably late, so we weren’t quite sure which part of his genetic gene pool was going to regulate his arrival time. Thus, making sure that everything arrived on time was quite a feat. Especially since his Capetonian mother ordered everything last minute. www.theroomfurniture.co.za ensured that we had a gorgeous compactum (if you’re still in your first trimester – this is the cupboard you change your baby’s nappies on – odd name for a simple thing), cot and freestanding cupboard ready in baby safe paint. It’s important to get a breathable mattress too. I had lots of fun visiting their showroom in Stellenbosch and picking out the pieces. It’s a husband and wife team who started the business after the birth of their kiddies and them not finding pocket-friendly practical furniture that “grew” with their babies – so, a vested interest indeed.
The chair is from the Biggie Best factory shop in Kenilworth – www.biggiebestwebshop.co.za and Dianna was an angel to make sure the chair arrived before baby did. You need a comfortable rocking chair with an ottoman to put your feet up while breastfeeding and trust me – you spend a LOT of time in the chair, so try a happy fabric and do have it “Scotchgarded” as babies are rather messy. The pram is my big splurge, but more about that in a later post. – and there are various delivery options which means that you can even send someone to collect at the store closest to you for a minimal cost or have it delivered to your home in 1-3 days for R99. Well worth it when you have a slight panic about mattress protectors and laundry bins. Also www.kidsliving.co.za is an amazing site and they’ve just opened a huge store in De Waterkant (Cape Town) which will make any mother’s heart melt with desire 🙂 The nesting instinct hits you hard just before they arrive – enjoy and indulge.
