Part of the Tables & Chairs collection, this thoughtfully designed low chair provides the perfect seating solution for toddlers in Montessori environments. With its 13cm seat height and slatted wooden construction, it enables young children to sit independently at child-sized tables for meals, activities, and practical life exercises. The sturdy plywood frame with ladder-back design offers proper postural support while encouraging autonomy and self-directed movement.
“The senses, being explorers of the world, open the way to knowledge.”— Maria MontessoriThe Discovery of the Child
The Slatted Chair with its 13cm seat height embodies Montessori's principle of creating environments scaled to the child's size and capabilities. This low chair enables toddlers to seat themselves independently, eliminating the need for adult assistance and fostering autonomy from the earliest years. The plywood construction with ladder-back design provides stability while remaining lightweight enough for young children to move and position according to their needs. By offering furniture at the child's level, the Slatted Chair transforms everyday activities like eating and working into opportunities for independence. The 13cm height specifically accommodates the proportions of children aged 0-3, allowing their feet to rest flat on the floor while maintaining proper posture. This chair creates a prepared environment where toddlers can choose to sit for meals, engage with materials at low tables, or participate in group activities without physical barriers to their participation.
