A very simple, clean and unique design for a chair, focused on comfort and elegance, made to compose a domestic or corporate environment such a dining room or meeting office. Most of folding chairs are based only on functionality, leaving comfort and aesthetics in the background, this proposal trying to cover all of these needs. Built in cedar wood and biodegradable PLA plastic components, just rotate the seat, close the legs and put it away. Its manufacture brings together manual joinery techniques, computerized cutting and digital manufacturing with a 3d printer.
