Slimmy chair facts:

1.    Slimmy weighs only 20 pounds - 4.5kg.

1. 2.  Slimmy was designed by Frederic Debackere, inspired by Japanese Origami and childhood pop-up books, the cube-like shape is sleek but playful and fun. The design is at once comfortable and durable, yet also one that is visually intriguing.
   

1. 3.   Slimmy is made from a single sheet of material, a composite of PVC, an aluminum which has a long term durability for indoor or outdoor use. The chair arrives flat with a protective film cover and is easily unfolded then assembled with 4 screws. The chair can be ordered inclined or in an upright position.
   

1. 4.   Slimmy was coined "the world's slimmest chair" by Wallpaper Magazine (Flat: length: 4'-4", Width: 2'-0", Thick: 0'-3/8").
   

5.    Slimmy reflects the latest technology by using CNC fabrication and minimal assembly. The result is a lighter weight and low shipping costs (UPS or FEDEX)

The material itself serves as the hinges, using its own strength the material is crimped for bending. The seat bottom is set stationary by the triangulation support while the top has minimal flexibility. This chair demonstrates the properties of the material characteristics and potential. Tension and compression forces are solved by combining the square and the isosceles triangle, based on the idea of scaffolding structure. Each panel of the chair relates to the other eliminating any other material as reinforcement.

Once, the chair is open the geometric design becomes a chair within a cubic shape. The chair is available in custom two color choices, one color on the exterior and another color on the interior. Slimmy can be assembled in two different positions, inclined at 100 degrees or upright straight back.
