SMART DESIGN: FOLDING INTO GOOD DESIGN- THE SKINNY ON A CLEVER AND USEFUL METAL CHAIR!

Cappellini - Stitch Chair - $650 (above)

Another find from New York during my Soho window shopping spree last week...

This one is called the Stitch Chair.

It is a simple but ingeniously designed folding chair made of aluminum plate...basically a modern twist on the old school metal folding chair.

When I first saw the chair in Cappellini's Wooster Street window, I didn't realize it was a folding chair...I simply thought it was a very good looking metal side chair or dining chair. I loved the bright colors and the sleek design. When I entered the store, I saw that this chair was even more interesting because it actually folded to a razor thin width (making it very easy to store and great for small homes, apartments or lofts).

Here's what Cappellini has to say about the Stitch Chair:

"Designed by Adam Goodrum - 2008. Folding chair completely manufactured with aluminium plate, available polish lacquered in white, blue, yellow, grey, red and black colors or in a multicolored version in a fixed combination of the same colours. Feet in white polypropylene. Stitch Chair is a new typology of product for Cappellini and allows, thanks to its hinges, to have a chair that can reduce to minimum its dimensions when folded up. It has also a personalized cardboard packaging."
