The name "Patoru" comes from the Japanese phrase "to fold quickly." This folding chair, created by Hirayama Household Goods Store, based in Uji, Kyoto, combines traditional techniques with modern sensibilities. The traditional technique of "string hinges," which has long been used for folding screens, is used in the chair's moving parts. The precise design ensures that no load is placed directly on the moving parts, achieving both design and durability that defies conventional wisdom for wooden folding chairs. By making full use of traditional woodworking techniques and constructing the chair from thin, slender materials, it is surprisingly lightweight and has a luxurious design.
