About Emmett 아웃도어 접이식 의자
에밋(Emmett)은 휴대성을 고려해 제작된 아웃도어 접이식 의자입니다. 프레임은 6000 시리즈 알루미늄으로 제작되었으며, 시트에는 폴리에스터와 나일론을 사용한 전용 아웃도어 원단이 적용되었습니다. 접이식 구조는 처짐과 끼임 현상을 줄이면서도 접었을 때 콤팩트한 크기를 유지합니다. 의자는 한 번의 동작으로 팔걸이가 잠길 때까지 펼쳐지며 팽팽한 좌면을 형성하고, 팔걸이의 버튼을 누르면 잠금이 해제되어 접을 수 있습니다. 양쪽 팔걸이 아래에는 병따개가 배치되어 있으며, 가방 걸이와 넓은 받침 발도 함께 제공됩니다. 재활용 폴리에스터 소재의 가방을 통해 의자를 어깨에 메고 이동할 수 있습니다.

Recycled polyester (carrying bag) - Design Challenge
- There has historically been significant tension between comfort and portability in outdoor furniture design. Creating a piece of furniture that includes a comfortable, taut seat while still also folding compactly was a difficult design and engineering challenge. Furthermore, portable outdoor chair development in recent decades has focused on cutting costs at the expense of quality. Creating real portable comfort that can be affordably produced at scale was also a considerable challenge.
- Research
- Extensive qualitative and quantitative research across hundreds of consumers informed the design of the Emmett. The research identified significant dissatisfaction with current outdoor portable chair options, particularly in terms of comfort and design. With more people spending quality time with family and friends outdoors, the Emmett fills an important need for well-designed comfort for the modern outdoors.
- Inspiration
- The modern outdoors - relaxing with neighbors, concerts in the park, watching children playing sports - is meaningful time with family and friends, but is often not matched by the quality of products people use. Why are portable chairs so uncomfortable, and comfortable chairs immovable? True Places began by asking "What if beautifully-designed and comfortable outdoor furniture can also be portable? What if modern design and engineering can create a folding chair of quality that matches the rest of people’s lives?"
- Project Duration
- The project started in August 2019 in Philadelphia and New York City and was completed in July 2021 in Shanghai.
- Operation Flow
- The Emmett features a new folding design: the chair can be folded out in one motion until the arms lock to create a remarkably comfortable, taut seat. The chair is easily folded by unlocking the arms using the armrest buttons and folding the arms upward and inward to a compact folded position. The chair can then be stowed in the custom designed sustainable carrying bag. Each chair can be carried over the shoulder or two chairs can be connected to be carried backpack-style.
