Reader Submitted: A Folding Chair Finished Using a Traditional Danish Soaping Process

Having lived in a tiny apartment in London, I had come to rely on the humble tubular-frame folding chair. Dragging them out when friends came over when all the usual bulky and cumbersome dining chairs were taken.

As homes within densely populated cities become increasingly smaller, demand for space-conscious furniture has increased. Take a look at the folding chair market, and you won’t be surprised to find an array of offerings, all utilizing similar folding mechanisms with the sole intention of saving space—usually on a budget.

The Native folding chair aspires to be more than a back-up for occasional guests. A folding chair that encourages everyday use and practicality without compromising on ergonomics by offering a more conventional dining chair form.

Inspiration for the project came from both contemporary Danish styles and Nomadic living trends with the intention of encouraging a new way of thinking as to what environments a folding chair can succeed in.
