Foldable ladder chairs were originally invented for use in libraries and households, primarily for reaching books on high shelves. Expanding on this concept, the Green Structure is the first prototype of a multifunctional object and interactive experiment that transforms a single object into a range of surprising variations while utilizing every angle and surface of the structure.
