Questions About Child Folding Chair
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 22, 2024
    Opinions vary on who designed the folding chair. Chairs designed to fold have existed since the ancient world, with examples found in the tomb of Tutankhamun. Some people argue that the original designer of the modern-day folding chair was John Cram, who patented an idea for a folding chair in 1855. However, others believe that Philip E.G. Harrison should get the credit because his 1931 design more closely resembles the modern-day folding chair. Nathaniel Alexander also contributed to the development of the folding chair with his 1911 chair that included a book rest, as did Frederic Arnold, who created the first folding aluminum chair in 1947. Shop a selection of folding chairs on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 16, 2024

  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023

Collector versions of the butterfly chair will not be foldable, however, foldable designs are a popular silhouette for recreational seating.
