Nomi Philosophy

European families like to have their children at the table with them, not in a highchair isolated from the family meal time. By sitting with the family, they learn manners, social skills, and are an active part of family conversations.

Designer Peter Opsvik

Norwegian designer Peter Opsvik spent his entire career studying what he calls ‘active sitting.’ None of us sit still – especially children – so how do we accommodate this need for movement while sitting? His philosophy is that children need a stable platform from which to move – so the child will sit actively and varied – but stay seated.

Active Sitting

Peter Opsvik has been designing chairs for active sitting for over 40 years. In 1972, Peter Opsvik designed the Tripp Trapp Chair for his son, which brought his child up to the table, and brought the floor up to his child with an adjustable foot rest.

Nomi (2013)

Fast forward to 2013 when Peter’s first granddaughter was born. Based on his 40 years of seating design experience, he knew he could do better. The result, the Nomi Chair. Nomi is the evolution of the original concept, utilizing more modern materials and technology, resulting in a sleeker design, making the daily use of the chair simpler.

Nomi High Chair

Nomi High Chair is the core of the Nomi concept. The Nomi High Chair is perfect for children from 6–24 months, when they can sit up on their own. Refined design and modern engineering ensures years of support and comfort for your child.

Nomi Chair

When your child is about 2 years old and can climb in and out on their own, the Restraint and Harness can simply be removed without tools. Now you have a Chair that can be adjusted perfectly to grow with your child through the teenage years and beyond!

The chair is also available for separate purchase should you have an older child that also needs a comfortable seat - Nomi Chair.

Nomi Baby

You don’t have to wait until your baby can sit on their own! With the Nomi Baby accessory your new baby can be at the table as soon as they are born. It is secured directly onto the wooden stem of your Nomi High Chair and is eventually replaced by the seat, back support and footrest, when your baby is ready to sit upright.

The Backbone of Nomi

Nomi's stem is hand laminated from 32 layers of wood then steam bent into a unique shape for continuous and seamless adjustability with no tools. Strong enough to support up to 330 lbs. ensuring a lifetime of use.

Quick Adjustability

Quickly and easily adjust the seat and footrest as your child grows with no tools required. The seat and footrest are always at the proper depth thanks to the unique curvature of the stem – no need to worry about that when making adjustments.

Easy to Clean

The sleek design has minimal places for food to get trapped, and simply wipes clean. The unique table grabber buttons allow you to hang Nomi on the table after meal time for easy cleaning underneath.
