Flat Folding Furniture

These Convenient Folding Chairs Are an Artistic Furniture Solution

— January 16, 2013 — Art & Design
Make sure to be prepared for your next major assembly with these convenient folding chairs. And if you don't have a mass group of people to cater to, they work great for small assemblies featuring relatives and teddy bears too.

The chairs are made of aluminum and birch plywood and are easy to take apart and reassemble. They are an excellent solution to mass seating logistics as they easily pack away and store brilliantly. In fact, as described by the creators they become an "art installation" when not in use.

I would have to agree with the designers as these convenient folding chairs are definitely a lot more aesthetically pleasing than traditional pack away seating. Just thinking about those old metal chairs used for school gym assemblies makes my skin crawl.
Trend Themes
1. Flat-folding Furniture - Aluminum and birch plywood furniture that easily disassembles for convenient storage and can double as artwork when not in use, disrupting traditional bulky assembly seating.
2. Aesthetic Assembly Seating - Elevating assembly and event seating with furniture that seamlessly transitions into functional art.
3. Portable Event Logistics - Innovative furniture that simplifies event set up and storage for more efficient portability.
Industry Implications
1. Event Planning and Rental Services - Businesses involved in event planning and rental services should consider offering flat-folding furniture as a more attractive and practical seating solution for clients.
2. Interior Design - Interior designers can incorporate the flat-folding aesthetic furniture trend into their projects and create unique, versatile and dual-purpose designs that cater to the modern lifestyles of their clients.
3. Furniture Manufacturing - Furniture manufacturers have an opportunity to incorporate the flat-folding furniture design trend into their product lines and provide customers with flexible, functional, and aesthetically pleasing furniture options.
