The Foldable Origami Chair aims to demonstrate how you can challenge the status quo of outdoor chair design paradigms and create significantly more end-user value. We just need to stop and ask, “Why do you need to carry the cushions back and forth? Why do you need to wipe dust and bird poo?”

The folding backrest functions as all-weather and year-round protection for the cushions. All you need to do is flip the waterproof backrest open and enjoy the dry, clean, and soft cushions. The chair enables you to enjoy your garden ad hoc and really seize the moment.

The simple form factor is ergonomic and looks good both when in use and when waiting. The parts are designed to minimize excess wood. The chair is made of certified Oak and treated with ecological UV-resistant oil.
