Abstract: A chair 11 is constructed from a generally rectangular, rigid sheet of material 12, such as plywood. A plurality of longitudinal cuts extend from a second end portion 24 toward a first end portion 26 of the sheet 12 to form a plurality of substantially similar longitudinal strips 28, which are separated at the first end portion 26 but remain connected at the second end portion of the sheet 12. The longitudinal strips 28 are divided into first and second portions 28a, 28b, such that no two adjacent strips 28 belong to the same portion 28a, 28b. The first end portion 24 is generally vertically disposed to form a front support structure 27. The first and second portions of longitudinal strips 28a, 28b are bent at an approximately 90 degree angle to form the seat 31. The first and second portions of longitudinal strips 28a, 28b are bent again in generally opposite directions to form a rear support structure 29 and a back support structure 30 respectively.
