The folding chair is something that has been about since 2000-1500 b.c. with the Egyptians first designing a folding stool for the commanding officer in their army, today however does not have that exclusive status that is did back in 1500 b.c. The chair has become boring and extremely unsupportive, and because of this I would like to redesign the chair, making is much more comfortable while providing a great deal more support to the back. Two areas in which I would like to reduce are slouching and hunching, as is the same in each of my concepts. I feel there is a lot a could change with the folding chair and in turn make it a great deal better for the user to use.
The main areas of the chair are the back and the base, both of which could be modified to create an all round better chair. With the back I would like to create a larger area for the back to rest upon and also incorporate a lumbar support, as the lumbar area of the back is the area that is most affected by slouching.
I will also look at the base of the chair, experimenting with angles and shapes, that will hopefully improve on the chairs comfort again decrease hunching and slouching.
