This is a nice chair.

The Label Chair was launched in November 2011 at the Montreal International Documentary Festival. Designwise, the chair is a pure beauty with its sleek label look. Moreover, thanks to its versatility, it can be customized for all sorts of events. Made of 17-ply Russian birch and stainless steel, the Label Chair can be easily stacked (when folded it is only 25 mm (1”) thick) and yes, of course, it is comfortable and practical.
