We all love the concept of furniture that grows and evolves with your child but the Highchair had us doing a double -- nay -- triple-take.
The Highchair by Maartje Steenkamp
Designed by Maartje Steenkamp and manufactured by Droog, the unconventional Highchair comes with a handsaw and sandpaper so that as your child grows, the chair gets smaller.
Infants can be at parents' eye level (Perhaps to practice that wild "baby slap" infants are so good at giving?) and then the chair can be made smaller and closer to ground level as time goes on and your baby turns into a toddler, into a child. Interesting in theory but if you have less-than-great woodworking skills, we don't see this going too well.
We do, however, like the shape and lines of the Highchair as well as the natural wood. Oh, those wacky guys at Droog.

step one is way too high, but i like this idea... and honestly you wouldn't need much in the way of "skills" to saw this bad boy down. It's called a measuring tape, and could hypothetically be done to other high-chairs.

Given there are no safety straps on this high-chair, it doesnt look the best to begin with (from that POV), but that high one being SO high...downright ridiculous!
Also it's not exactly reusable for the next child (without buying new legs & back) given you actually have to cut the legs down to size. Oh dear could you imagine how wobbly some people would cut it? lol.
Does look cute though, despite it being utterly impractical.
