Folding Chair explores simplicity and complexity, merging refined aesthetics with practical functionality. Driven by sustainability, it combines F17 and F27 grade recycled Australian hardwood with a natural wax finish, featuring soft curves and intuitive folding mechanisms. The design balances CNC precision with traditional woodworking techniques to create a piece that's easy to use, compact and thoughtfully detailed.
