- Who designed the folding chair?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 22, 2024Opinions vary on who designed the folding chair.

Harrison should get the credit because his 1931 design more closely resembles the modern-day folding chair.

Shop a selection of folding chairs on 1stDibs.

On 1stDibs, find a selection of Clam chairs from some of the world’s top sellers.
