The Stepping Up Chair by Think Fabricate is a sister to the Stepping Wood Chair and is a part of the Stepping Stones collection. This chair is durable, has a comfy seat and a cutout in the middle that can be used for storage.
This project began as a series of benches that were designed for school lunch rooms, and has since expanded into a wide range of lounge chairs. The clients can choose their own fabric color, patterns, textures and how much foam they want. They can mix and match to create their own unique design, and the walnut wood gives the chair a sophisticated appearance.
