Abstract

The ZetaGrow Study Chair for Kids is an ergonomic, adjustable chair designed for children aged 4 to 12 years old. Inspired by the need for furniture that adapts to growing users, the chair features three seat height levels and sliding adjustable armrests to provide personalised comfort. ZetaGrow is carefully constructed using safe materials—durable hardwood for the structure and soft, child-friendly foam for the seat and backrest. The rounded edges ensure safety, while its minimal and modern design fits into both home and educational settings. The ZetaGrow chair enhances posture support, encourages focused study, and supports activities such as reading, drawing, and digital learning. Its modularconcept supports growth without the need for new furniture. From sketching and mock-ups to 3D modelling and prototyping, the development process involved iterative testing to ensure ergonomic suitability. This project highlights how functional furniture design can improve children’s daily study routines and reduce physical discomfort. The integration of adjustability and childfocused design principles in ZetaGrow offers a long-term, cost-effective, and aesthetic solution for modern study environments.
