This tiny chair for kids is meant to be used in small rooms as an additional seating for guests or in kindergartens, which will reduce a storage problem while not in use in both cases. The main benefit of
this design besides it being affordable, lighter and safer then typical wood and metal, or plastic chairs is it’s ability to get completely flattened and super easy to store and quick to reassemble. The process of reassembling won’t take more then 10 seconds and can be easily done by each kid, so they can all take one peace of cardboard and within seconds be ready to eat, play games or do any other activity. By observing it, remembering my own experience and by talking with their teachers I established that typical process of stacking up chairs takes much longer and it’s harder for kids to do since they are neither tall nor strong enough to mount heavy wooden chairs (like the ones used in my country) that high on top of each other, kids can injure themselves while doing it, especially when removing them from the stacked up chair tower. Besides all that, even if the teachers pack and unpack chairs, which they almost always and up doing, no matter how tall they end up stacking them, they will always take up too much floor space that kids could otherwise use for playing and can end up avalanching down on them if not stored properly.
