What is a nesting chair?

What is a nesting chair?
A nesting chair is an office chair that features a unique space-saving design. When not in use, the seat flips down and the hinged frame of the chair folds, allowing you to push two or more together in a front-to-back arrangement. The chairs can then be stored in a tighter space. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of office chairs from some of the world's top sellers.
