The modern and minimalistic construction of the pp512 Folding chair exhibits the superb handling of two basic materials: solid wood and cane. The wooden handles serve as hand-rests, but also intersect with the otherwise continuing cane seat causing aesthetic deviation, which makes the cane work look balanced rather than overdone.
