Making a folding wooden chair without plans. The first 1,000 people to use the link will get a 1 month free trial of Skillshare: https://skl.sh/makesomething04231

At the Goodwill I stumbled upon an adorable wooden chair designed for kids. Its folding mechanism was so intriguing that I decided to combine it with the classic Trieste wooden chair's design to create something distinctive. Chairs are inherently challenging to design because they require a balance between form and function. However, drawing inspiration from both chairs, I was able to use a blend of calculated guesses and serendipity to craft a sleek and contemporary folding chair.
