Evaluation

These folding chairs are suited to a wide range of occasions, from office seminars to casual presentations and events. Adopting a style evocative of outdoor items, which is a key trend in offices, this distinctive product folds up with a satisfying click. These chairs can stand without support even when folded up and we were so impressed by the design that we wanted to tell other people about our user experience. In developing this product, the designer has given thought to a user-friendly folding method and the safety that this creates, as well as to how the space should look when these chairs are not in use. The multifaceted, painstaking consideration thus demonstrated in this design won high praise from us.
