Folding chairs are a time tested idea and they still are evolving right before our eyes. You can visit any type of office, and school, and most homes in America, and find these chairs being used. They are convenient, they save space, and give good support. You can find them on patios, in gardens, at funerals, or at graduations. They have been around for centuries, and have been improved on and modernized for our convenience.
If you go shopping for some of these uniquely made items, you will find that the two most common materials used to make them, are metal and plastic. But when it comes to different styles, with cushions, without cushions, triple braced or not, then you are going to see what a wide variety there is to choose from.
They come adorned with many different types of fabric, and in all colors. Some have a round back, while others are squared. Some are made of just wood instead of the metal and plastic. This could be Black Wood, or Mahogany, or Natural Wood, as well as many others. There seems to be no end to the fabrics and materials used to make these useful chairs.
For places like a school or an office that has frequent use of these chairs, and wants to store them somewhere on the facility, there are racks made for storing and easy transport. Some are made to stack the chairs on, and others are more of a hanging type storage. But they come on rollers and can easily be moved in and out of whatever place they need to be stored in. They are known as chair caddies.
When it comes to finding a form of temporary seating, these chairs that fold out are the champs. They have excellent support, are very lightweight, and can match most any decor for the event you use them for. The different designs afford you the luxury of choosing the type best suited to fit your needs as well as fit in with your sense of style and taste.
Fredric Arnold is the man who is responsible for making the first aluminum one. It used fabric for its backing and seat, and in this was back in the year 1947. This was not the first folding chair, just the first aluminum one. By 1957, he had his own company and was putting out over 14,000 a day. In reality, though, these chairs date all the way back to the ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans.
I believe we can all sit and imagine the old directing chair used by directors behind the scenes of movie sets. We all know that scene, where he belts out instructions from his little fold out chair through a big megaphone. Those chairs were of a very simple design, but in the stores today you find a much more sophisticated choice of chairs. They are made with elegance and beauty for brightening up patios and gardens and public affairs.
Folding chairs are a time tested idea, but they also have come a long way as far as material and design. For good solid support and service, and for convenience, they have no rivals. If you like to fish and hunt, then no doubt you have seen the convenience they provide in those areas. They truly are an American tradition, and a credit to a how a simple idea, born of convenience, can enhance our culture.
