Backflip Folding Chair by Hay

Folds out. Folds up. Always looks great.

The Backflip, designed by Gudmundur Ludvik, is a chair that adapts to your everyday life—not the other way around. Unfold it when guests come over; fold it up, stow it away, or hang it up when it’s not in use. The ingenious mechanism in the molded plywood backrest allows for a smooth folding motion that feels so natural, as if there were no other way. And all this without sacrificing comfort or style.

Crafted from solid wood and available in natural beech and various colored finishes, the Backflip blends effortlessly into both private and public spaces—whether for daily use or occasional use. A chair that combines aesthetics and function so naturally that you wonder why all chairs aren’t like this.
