This design is the culmination of a sketch, a full scale ply chair model that I made 7 years ago. Having designed a table prior to this chair that was made by folding a 3mm aluminium sheet, I was emboldened to explore the earlier chair design to be made in a similar way.

I like the process we followed to design and make this chair-smaller part models were made in paper, then in mild steel to test the folds and finally a full scale mild steel chair-before we made the final version in 3mm aluminium.
