Poly is a folding stool intended for a wide range of uses from the home to museums and galleries.

Poly is constructed from two pieces of 12mm laminated Polypropylene, machined on a CNC router. In place of moving parts,
V-grooves are machined into each piece, leaving a thin section which acts as a "living hinge" allowing the rigid material to fold like scored card.
When the stool is opened for use, the living hinges bend causing the V-grooves to close and shut simultaneously.
At this point, the stool structure becomes rigid under the weight of the seated user.
