This is a 1:8 scale model of Frank LLoyd Wright's famous "Origami Chair". This design exists in a few variations, including one without the distinctive (and probably impractical) tail. I modeled what seems to be an early iteration that includes some classic FLW cutouts on the arms rests. The cutouts were pretty annoying to print, so I left them out for now. I also like how there are some notes in red about adding holes so you can clean the dust out of the back fin area.

My goal with this was to study the design in case I'll like to make one full size. I also wanted see if it can actually fold up origami style from a flat sheet. I haven't made one yet, but it does fold, sort of. You have to ignore the seat, headrest and back fin plus the fact that the plans call for different thickness of plywood for the arms and sides .

As one would expect from a decades old web discussion, there are plenty of dead links, but the drawing I used can be found here:
