    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.

    Small chairs are often called slipper chairs. The first examples date back to the Victorian era, when they often appeared in women's dressing areas. Their low height made it easy for women wearing the bulky corsets and petticoats of the time to sit down so that someone could help them get their slippers or shoes on. Even though people primarily use these chairs in sitting areas today, the name has stuck. Explore an assortment of slipper chairs on 1stDibs.
