Poster Chair

Lead Designers
Entry Description

Hang this beautiful frame on the wall with your choice of poster (standard 2?X3?) and when guests arrive remove and unfold for a comfortable chair. The trick for a really comfortable chair is the back pivots out into position when the chair is unfolded so it feels like a regular chair with a extraordinary ability to fold flat within a poster frame. So seamless is the conversion from chair to poster frame that it almost impossible to know that it is anything else other than a poster frame when it is hanging on the wall. For most living in cramped home environments like apartments, condos, dorms, and town homes, having readily available extra seating that doubles as art makes allot of sense. Hang in an extra bedroom, hallway, or office so when being used their absence won?t be missed.

Bio

Mike Foy works as a mechanical, and design engineer. Since 1994 he has designed several lighting fixtures that are still in production today. The "Poster Chair" is a combination of his love for lithographs and furniture resulting in a practical design that has a massive urban market to tap into. "So many designers have tried to design a chair that can hang on the wall but none successfully marketed. My Poster Chair design is one of those WHY DIDNT I THINK OF THAT!!" Although now working in an industrial equipment firm, he continues to design furniture and lighting and hopes the "Poster Chair" will be successful and allow him to focus on his true passion, furniture and lighting. "The Poster Chair represents the tip of the iceberg. I have dozens of designs that I would like to develop, hopefully the success of the Poster Chair will facilitate that"
