Flipp Chair: A Folding Chair with Style and Functionality

Revolutionizing Temporary Seating Solutions

Inspired by flowing movement and functionality, the Flipp Chair brings together minimalism and comfort in an eye-catching design.

The Flipp Chair, designed by Mhd Al Sidawi, is a unique and innovative folding chair that aims to provide a practical and distinctive seating solution for modern interiors. With its minimalist design and characteristic shape, this chair adds a touch of elegance to any space.

What sets the Flipp Chair apart from traditional folding chairs is its new and unique structure. While maintaining the simplicity and lightness of a traditional folding chair, the Flipp Chair introduces a three-legged structure inspired by modern Japanese furniture. This design not only enhances the chair's appearance but also improves its functionality.

One of the key strengths of the Flipp Chair is its versatility. It is designed to be a multi-purpose furniture piece that can adapt to any space. Whether it's an outdoor wedding, an indoor play, or unexpected guests at your condo, the Flipp Chair is the perfect seating solution. Its compact and lightweight design makes it easy to carry and store, while its attractive finishes add a touch of sophistication to any setting.

The Flipp Chair is made using high-quality materials such as solid beech or solid oak wood, or with an epoxy/polyester powder coating. Its dimensions, measuring 52cm in width, 59cm in depth, and 74cm in height, provide a comfortable seating experience for users of all sizes.

During the design process, Mhd Al Sidawi faced several challenges. The folding system with a three-legged structure required careful study to ensure the chair's balancing and the safety of the user. Additionally, the goal was to create a chair that was not only compact and lightweight but also attractive, unlike any other temporary furniture item.

The Flipp Chair project started in September 2016 and was completed in October 2016 as a side project in Istanbul, Turkey. The design was born out of the need for temporary furniture that could adapt to different spaces and events. Mhd Al Sidawi's research focused on creating a practical and distinctive seating solution that combines function, minimalism, and comfort.

The Flipp Chair has received recognition for its outstanding design. It was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Furniture Design category in 2017. This prestigious award is bestowed upon designs that exhibit strong technical and creative skills and contribute to quality of life improvements.

With its unique design, versatility, and elegant finishes, the Flipp Chair is a true game-changer in the world of temporary seating solutions. Whether it's for everyday use or for unexpected guests, this folding chair combines style and functionality like no other.
