POV Statement: The foldable chair allows people who need seating in a crowded room to relax, and is lightweight, portable, and easily put away when not needed.
When people stand, the blood flows along the spine smoothely. You will flatten the lumbar or the lower part of your back when you are sitting. People should not sit at the same postion for very long period of time. Also, people should get up and walk to let the blood flow around which will put less strain on thier neck, shoulders, and back.
This picture shows that you should sit up completely straight while in a chair. It also shows that it is good to try not to tilt your pelvis while sitting, in order to keep your back aligned, to let blood flow smoothely.
This diagram shows that the spine is very important part of the body. Everything is connected to the backbone, including the central nervous system.
Notice in this picture that every curve of the back flows into anther. Sitting properly keep this flow healthy.
This is a diagram of how the spine is like when people sit in different positions. Positions
A and B are not the right ways to sit becasue it will casue back and neck sprain. Positions
C and D are the proper ways to sit becasue the blood can flow smoothly with lesser back
and neck pain.

C - represent the pelvis position.
D - represent the shoulder position.
E - represent the neck position.

The 135 degree position is more relaxing than the 90 degree and 70 degree postitons. Using the curve of the back of the chair as support puts less stain on the back.
The diagram shows that people should sit all the way back and keep their back straight. Sitting up straight is a proper way to sit on a desk chair, and enhances its comfortability.
The blue area represents the space between the chair and the person.

This is a floor plan of how the chair can move around the house anywhere and it can easily put away in the closet when not needed.
These are the 3D modeling of my second prototype.
These are my third prototype of my chair and it shows how each part works.
This is a picture of me sitting in my final chair.
