Stationary Inspired Office Furniture -The Folder Chair by Rita

Rita, a multidisciplinary design studio in Montreal, Canada, has developed a new geeky furniture concept. The aptly named Folder chair takes its inspiration from the traditional paper file folders.

It has a funky look with its bright yellow colour, and it might actually add some life to an accountant’s office, but the downfall of this design is that it looks super uncomfortable! Maybe Rita can add bubble wrap as padding for her next innovative piece?
