Questions About Child Folding Chair
  • Do butterfly chairs fold up?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022

  • Who designed the folding chair?
    1 Answer
    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.
  • What are the chairs that fold up called?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertApril 16, 2024

Other names for folding chairs designed for outdoor use include deck chairs, beach chairs, lawn chairs, camping chairs and patio chairs. Shop a collection of folding chairs on 1stDibs.
  • Who invented the folding chair?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023
