Designer Yurii Celga recently created this fold up chair using just a single sheet of wood. The [flat-packed seat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eilersen), which is titled the Butterfly Chair is an elegantly designed product that also doubles as a briefcase.

The portable chair has the ability to fold inward, is light enough to be carried under one arm and the seat acts a storage compartment for papers.

Additionally, the backrest of each seat can be used as a table for someone sitting behind the Butterfly chair. By utilizing one single sheet of wood, this fold up chair makes for a highly sustainable piece of furniture. It can also be easily transported to various locations -- from backyard bonfires to picnics at the beach.
