The History of the Folding Chair

I came across a very in-depth article about the history of the folding chair on the design boom website. It shows just about every folding chair in the history of the folding chair! The two design that we most see these days are the X shape and the Triangle shape. Throughout most of the chairs however they do not provide a great deal of back support. The designs range from very simple chairs to extremely elaborate designs that were made for high ranked individuals.
