Offering big savings on assembly time and materials, the Good-Bye Screw folding chair avoids the use of screws for its assembly. It is comprised of just a few components that are easily put together.

Good-Bye Screw is a folding chair that uses no screws for its assembly. The number of components is few and assembly is very easy and convenient, taking just a minute. The chair is made of polypropylene mixed with textile fibres, and treated with the gas injection technique. This technique can increase the strength of the main body while reducing the plastic consumption, and results in a cost reduction for the production.

The chair has a streamlined form. Its seat and back are cambered to meet ergonomic requirements and assure comfort. Two cross- bars between both front legs and rear legs helps with stable stacking. The one between the front legs has a semicircular chamfer, while the rear one has a semicircular bulge. The stacking feature reduces storage and packing space, as well as the transport costs.
