Folding chair

Folding chair with fabric seat

The folding chair with a metal frame and wooden armrests is 78 cm high and has a fabric seating area measuring 35.8 x 42.5 cm. Due to its functional design and the aluminium material, with only a little wood and fabric, the folding chair is an especially lightweight piece of furniture. It hardly took up any space on a journey and could be transported anywhere. It was also weatherproof. Thus, such folding chairs could be found at every campsite, in front of tents and caravans, as furniture provided by the FDGB holiday resort and also in almost every garden. The floral material cover is especially eye-catching, with its orange, green and brown colours, recalling the summer months and activities in natural environments. The folding chair’s use as seating also associates it with relaxation.
