Description«The origins of this ingenious camping stool seem to be unknown. I always thought of it as Swiss, but it may have been a German invention. It’s strange that so little should be known about an idea as unique as this one. The genius of it is that it achieves such good comfort with so little material. It’s assembled by unfolding and hooking the wire to connect the legs at floor level, which creates all the necessary tension in the seat fabric to make the whole structure rigid enough to sit on!»
