ARC is a compact folding chair used for temporary seating events like conferences, weddings, and school auditorium gatherings. Unlike all other event chairs that stack vertically, the ARC chair stacks horizontally so you never have to lift them—just slide them together. The back legs slide right in between the front legs, and the chairs nest closely together. When stacked, many ARC chairs together create a beautiful pattern of nesting form. There are no limits to a stack...They can stack in an infinitely-long chain. When set up in rows, the seat remains folded so people can pass by easily, just like theater chairs. ARC has magnets in its side uprights that click the chairs together to make neat rows.

ARC Chair, Product Design
"This is clever! No bending down or strenuously collapse and stack.
"Thinking of the end-user in all areas."
