Abstract: The invention relates to a chair formed by shaping sheets of feltpreparation of a flat sheet formed by a felt or similar compressed material with a hardening substance; andpunching of the flat sheet in a pattern corresponding to the flat lay-out of the chair to be produced, andarranging all of the incisions and holes required for the successive foldings and applications of its parts; andpossible softening of the hardening substance included in the felt or the impregnation of the felt with a hardening substance; andshaping of the flat sheet to the final form of the chair to be obtained; andhardening of the hardening substance in the zones which must be given the required rigidity, leaving the other zones in the natural state; andassembling of any further parts of the chair; andfinishing treatments of the chair made.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of making pieces of furniture, more particularly arm-chairs and the like, starting from flat sheets of felt or the like, and comprising the following phases:preparation of a flat sheet formed by a felt or similar compressed material including or adapted to be associated with a hardening substance;punching of the flat sheet in a pattern corresponding to the flat lay-out of the piece of furniture to be produced, arranging all the incisions and holes required for the successive foldings and applications of its parts;possible softening of the hardening substance included in the felt or the impregnation of the felt with a hardening substance;shaping of the flat sheet to the final form of the piece of furniture to be obtained;hardening of the hardening substance in the zones which must be given the required rigidity, leaving the other zones in the natural state;assembly of any further parts of the piece of furniture for its completion;finishing treatments of the piece of furniture.
