About Pad Cadair Blygu

Mae Pad yn gadair blygu sydd wedi'i chynllunio i arbed lle. Mae'r gadair yn plygu i mewn i banel gwastad sy'n mesur 41 cm o hyd, 4 cm o led a 86 cm o uchder. Gellir pentyrru a storio nifer o baneli wedi'u plygu gyda'i gilydd. I agor y gadair, tynnir y trawst gwaelod i lawr fel bod y sedd a'r coesau'n dod allan. Yna plygir y sedd i fyny 90 gradd, a phlygir y coesau i lawr 90 gradd. Gwneir Pad o dderw Ynysoedd India (teak), pren sy'n sefydlog, yn wrthsefyll traul ac wedi'i ddiogelu rhag pydredd a phryfed. Mae'r ffurf wastad yn addas ar gyfer cartrefi a mannau cyhoeddus.

Easy to fold and save space. According to research, furniture design output value had reached 210 billion euros in 2002, its development prospect is very broad.
Inspiration
The shape of the tablet inspired us to come up with this project. The size of the tablet is very space-saving and easy to store. Folding chairs are also in demand in large public places. We wanted to design a chair with the same function. So, we made the folding chair a flat panel. Usually, it's a chair. It can be folded into a flat sheet when needed.
Project Duration
The project started in September 2020 in Milan and finished in February 2021 in that place, and was exhibited in China in February 2021.
Operation Flow
Start with a tablet. First, grab the bottom beam of the tablet and pull it down. The seat and legs of the chair will snap out. Second, pull the seat and legs to the bottom and fold them up by 90 degrees to form the seat. Finally, fold the legs down 90 degrees to form a chair.
