Space is in short supply in a tiny house - so it makes sense to design

a chair that takes up the least amount of space when not in use.

This folding chair design can be cut using a router from one 2'x3'
rough cut piece of plywood. You could also use a jigsaw.

We recommend using the first cut chair as a template - since the

dimensions are fairly complex. Then... using a 1/2" diameter top
bearing flush trim router bit, cut additional chairs.

Five of these chairs can be made from a single 4'x8' sheet of 3/4"
plywood with minimal material loss.

Two hinges are needed to make the chair work. Use sturdy piano
hinges, (1) 6 inch and (1) 10 inch. Sand and stain the wood to your
aesthetic preference.

The strength of the chair relies on the strength of the hinges so be

especially attentive to screw and hinge selection and attachment.

To fold open, lift the seat and tilt
the back leg. Then slide the
notches together. The chair stays
open under the weight of the seat
and occupant.
