Abstract: A director's chair includes two sides each having a pair of legs, a rail connecting the upper ends of the pair of legs and, together with an opposing rail, engaging a first canvas that provides a seat, an armrest coupled to a stile, which, together with an opposing stile, engages a canvas that provides a back, a T-shaped strut having a shorter arm rotatably coupled to the lower ends of the pair of legs and a larger arm having at one end a slider slidably engaged in a groove defined in the support rod of an opposing armrest, and a blocking member that prevents an upward movement of the slider within the groove when the director's chair is in open configuration and that can be removably disengaged by the user to bring the director's chair in closed configuration.
