When Furniture, Origami, and Ergonomics combine! - Yanko Design

We bask seeing how far a designer can push button furniture to be portable and innovative at the same time. In a style, the Flux Chair is quite similar to the Ollie Chair since they both can compress downwards to a flat pack, making them a dream to store and very easy to transport/behave around. The impressive thing however about the Flux chair is its ability to do so A. in a way that makes carrying even easier because your folded chair is smaller every bit well as lighter, and B. using just one material that isn't just flexible when you demand it, but rigid enough to support the torso's weight too.

The beauty of Flux is in the fashion it transforms from a large polypropylene envelope (briefcase sized) to a fully functioning chair that takes all of 3 minutes to ready up. Using curved folds to make the chair structurally audio, the designers have managed to strike a rather lovely blend betwixt structural integrity, and a unique artful that doesn't expect anything similar something you would imagine would exist achievable through folding (Yves Behar's Kada Stool, for example). In fact it reminds 1 of an origami version of the Pantone Chair, if yous inquire me, personally! The curves not but requite the Flux chair its incredible load-bearing abilities, they fifty-fifty brand the chair comfortable to sit on, as the curves on the chair match those on the sitter'south bodies.

The Chair comes a variety of colors and fifty-fifty features a Inferior size for children. Its curved aesthetic and folding principle accept been juxtaposed on many more furniture pieces, ranging from footstools, to even fully-functional minibars!
