About this asset

Modelled as a Revit family, this parametric folding chair features a rounded backrest, padded rectangular seat, and an A-frame tubular support frame. This seating component captures the familiar silhouette of an institutional folding chair. A tubular metal frame forms a sturdy scissor-leg base with stabilizing crossbars and angled rear supports. The upper frame arches into an inverted U-shape to support a semi-circular backrest panel. A softened rectangular seat pad rests upon the folding pivot mechanism, showing defined thickness for upholstery or molded plastic construction. Clean linework delineates the mechanical hinges, legs, and back support, offering a legible representation suitable for both schematic space planning and detailed documentation layouts without unnecessary polygon density.

The download is a 246 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

Load this RFA component directly into your project environment under the Furniture category. As a parametric family, type parameters allow adjustments to seat height, overall dimensions, or material finishes directly within the Properties palette. The lightweight geometry keeps project file sizes minimal, facilitating arraying across multi-row seating plans, auditoriums, and temporary event setups without degrading viewport navigation or floor plan rendering speeds.

Suited for educational, commercial, and civic schemes, this chair readily populates multi-purpose halls, school auditoriums, training suites, and temporary conference setups. It coordinates seamlessly with folding seminar desks, banquet tables, and demountable stages across spatial feasibility studies and detailed FF&E schedules. Planners specifying stackable event seating, portable chairs, or modular assembly layouts benefit from clear graphic legibility in both 2D floor plans and 3D perspectives.
