People are living in smaller, more flexible spaces. They deserve a chair that flexes with them. Most folding chairs are designed to be lightweight and portable. Their use is temporary and they give up quality, comfort, and appeal for mobility.
The Crisscross Chair takes a unique approach. Designed to emphasize style, quality and comfort in an everyday use chair, the Crisscross chair provides someone the ability to host a dinner party with four or ten people without sacrificing the setting.
The added ability to fold and move makes the Crisscross chair the centerpiece of any room you move it to. A geared mechanism concealed within the back leg creates a synchronized motion with the seat and legs. When folded, the entire chair nests within the front legs making it easy to relocate to another room or store for another time.
