The Venus Folding Chair has been designed by Lameice Abu Aker and Eva Castany as a furniture piece inspired by the Venus of Willendorf statue that pays homage to the Paleolithic sculpture. The chair features an artistic aesthetic from afar that will open up to reveal the perfect spot for sitting during an event, but gets its form from the aforementioned mother goddess statue. This is conveyed through the shapely backrest and mesh seat, while the use of minimal materials gives the furniture piece an inherently simple construction.
The Venus Folding Chair is highly efficient when it comes to the use of space and is thus very easy to be transported for use during events, and thus has a low carbon footprint.
