Meet Flair, the flattest, most lightweight chair ever made… - Yanko Design

Inkling: Information technology'southward less of a chair and more of a really well-designed hammock.

Designed as a means of public seating that could be accessed when needed, discarded when unwanted, and not abused by people trying to sleep on it, the Flair is a polymer-sheet that is office origami, part furniture, and consummate creativity. The Flair, a portmanteau of Flat and Chair, is made from a creased polypropylene sail that supports its ability to have live-hinges. Information technology suspends on a wall thanks to rivets and hooks at the back that allow the Flair to hang onto the wall similar a painting. The wall comes with 3 sets of rivets, i static, and ii that allow you to claw the Flair in its seating position, and in its closed position.

Using the Flair is equally simple as using a folding chair. One time you go the knack of information technology, you don't need to be shown twice. When closed, the Flair sits flat against a wall, practically hidden from view, thanks to its translucency. When opened, each Flair sits precisely one person and adjusts its curvature to, well, to your curvature… merely like a hammock. And like most public seating that discourages behavior like sleeping on the benches at dark (more accurately known as defensive design), the Flair's shape allows you lot only to sit on it (or perchance stand too, but I wouldn't recommend that). Also existence i of the lightest chairs I've ever seen (and hands down the flattest), cleaning the Flair is equally easy as taking a fabric to information technology and wiping the dust off it with a singular move!
