This thesis introduces research on collapsible furniture. It focuses on foldable furniture, aiming to have
an eligible source of information, for readers to acquire facts from folding furniture’s first appearance,
evolution facts, as well as, the current trends in this industry. Folding can occur in different ways
depending on factors (way of folding, production constraints, aim of usage) that affect directly the
selection of materials, fabrication, and mechanisms best suited for each occasion and need.
Furthermore, physical prototypes will be fabricated to extract knowledge on the production method
and assembly, which are also presented through an image gallery. Through this thesis reader may
have a better insight of folding furniture as item of everyday living as well as a better understanding
of production methodology of such kind of furniture. Future trends and potential extent of this work
are listed in the end.
