Folding Chair Stores Stealthily, Kills Aliens

We ran across this “Leaf” chair by Folditure back in May at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair. It’s made of an aluminum composite panel frame, features stainless steel hinges, aircraft grade stainless steel rivets, and other high quality materials. It can be used indoors or out. It is made with pride in Hoboken, NJ. It folds flat to an amazing 3/4″ and hangs like a jacket in a closet. It’s pretty damn comfortable to boot.

And it looks like something out of a science fiction movie.

The Leaf is an impressive piece of furniture–high quality, functional and very stowable. It just looks a little strange. Regarding the chair’s aesthetics, Folditure’s website claims that “the Leaf is equally at home in a fine parlor or dining room or on your patio. Or aboard your starship!” We couldn’t have said it better.

The Leaf is available on Folditure’s website for $680 with exposed backrest and $760 for the laminated version.
