Backflip Folding chair wood brown - Hay

Backflip, the designer folding chair that reimagines everyday lifeUnlike traditional folding chairs, Gudmundur Ludvik’s Backflip was first conceived as a true designer wooden chair, rather than simply a folding chair. Its hidden mechanism, comfort, and elegance make it a chair that’s as pleasant to use as it is to admire. The Discreet Ingenuity of the DesignConceived by Icelandic designer Gudmundur Ludvik, the Backflip folding chair reimagines a familiar form through a design that is as ingenious as it is minimalist. Crafted from solid beech wood with a seat and backrest made of molded plywood, it allows the materials and construction to naturally guide its silhouette. Its folding mechanism, completely concealed within the backrest, automatically locks the chair in both the open and folded positions. This technical feat preserves the purity of the lines and places Backflip firmly within the great tradition of contemporary Scandinavian design. Designed to adapt to any useThanks to the swiveling backrest, the chair folds and unfolds with one hand in a fluid, intuitive motion. When folded, it is only 10 cm thick and can be easily stored behind a door, in a closet, or hung on a wall fixation (sold separately). Stable, comfortable, and certified for professional use, it naturally fits around a dining table, in a meeting room, a coworking space, or as an elegant occasional chair always ready for use. A Natural Fit AnywhereAvailable in natural beechwood, dark wood, charcoal grey, cloudy blue, cream white, or cedar green, Backflip blends just as effortlessly into a Scandinavian, minimalist, or contemporary interior. Its understated, timeless aesthetic ensures it remains a focal point even when hung on the wall, where it almost becomes a graphic design element. It is this ability to combine beauty, functionality, and space-saving design that sets it apart from traditional folding chairs. Much more than just an occasional seat, Backflip restores the folding chair’s status as a design icon. A creation designed to last, adapt to the changes of daily life, and demonstrate that the most remarkable innovation is often the one that goes unnoticed.
