The Departo folding chair is a high-quality seating solution that aims to merge the aesthetics of two cultures into one piece of furniture that is as stylish as it is functional. The chair features a Scandinavian-inspired build along with a focus on Japanese materiality and is achieved with a steel frame and ash wood legs. The chair is rounded out with a wooden backrest, a comfortable canvas seat and a leather handle that will allow for easy carrying.
The Departo folding chair is elegant yet utilitarian, and comes in both Light Ash and Dark Ash finish options that will suit aesthetic needs or preferences seamlessly. The chair is priced at $295, and is the design work of Departo founders Glenn Pushelberg, George Yabu and Yuichiro Hori.
