Pad
Pad is a folding chair designed to save space. The chair folds into a flat panel that measures 41 cm in length, 4 cm in width and 86 cm in height. Several folded panels can be stacked and stored together. To open the chair, the bottom beam is pulled down so the seat and the legs come out. The seat is then folded up by 90 degrees, and the legs are folded down by 90 degrees. Pad is made of teak, a wood that is stable, wear resistant and protected against decay and insects. The flat form suits homes and public places.
Pad Chair by Bruce Tao was featured as a creative example of industrial design by the A' Design Awards. Pad Chair won the Iron A' Design Award in Furniture Design in 2021. The A' Furniture Design Award is an international, jury-voted, fair and ethical design accolade that rewards exceptional design of chairs, tables, sofas, beds, cabinets, shelves, desks, wardrobes and more.
