Flexible Furnitures in the Philippines?

Have you seen this flexible chair, made in Taiwan, that is making the rounds in international furniture shows?

The concept is from the toy “slinky” you had some years back. The one that we lovingly pushed off the stairs and let it rock and roll and travel straight staircases, end to end. (Well, either that “slinky” or the accordion musical instrument)


From what we see in the video, the Taiwan-made slinky-chair is lightweight in material. Special industrial strentgh paper carton perhaps. When fully stretched, I hope they demoed too showing that it can really support 4 to 5 people.

I wonder if the guys at Dekahon can do something akin to this and serve the Philippine market. Dekahon is a unique furniture company here in the Philippines that offers handmade, glued, durable, modular furniture made out of strong industrial cardboard.
