folding chair fun

1175.jpg
the other day someone wrote in looking for fun folding chairs. we found a few nice modern options but for the most part we didn’t love anything in a major way. then i came across these ibiza folding chairs ($36 each in blue and green) at sprout home this weekend and thought they were super cute. they’re certainly not the most comfortable option i saw, but they’d be painfully perfect for a quick summer bbq or backyard fête. if only they came in a sunshine bright yellow. then i’d be tempted to buy them as summer rooftop chairs. i can taste the mojitos now…

Those are cute - but $36!! Maybe this spring I’ll diy some old thrift store folding chairs with a metal drill. I’ll even paint it sunny yellow just for you!!

Oh wow, good find! Those are so adorable. Makes your wheels just turn instantly with all the other things you can do to pretty up such ugly eyesores. Never thought that metal folding chairs could look so wonderful!
Thanks for the great post! Looking forward to the rest of them.

Isn’t that what exterior-grade spray-enamel is for? :)

I recently found a set of these chairs [same lines, different perforated pattern]:

Seeing these brightly colored chairs, I’m tempted to paint mine. I love the lacy pattern, but the brown is gross!

I have some ugly chairs that I would love to turn into these! So this could be done with a metal drill? Love the bright colors and airy flowers - this is so much better than the slipcover idea I was contemplating! Thanks!

These are exactly what I’ve been looking for, but completely different! Does anyone know where I can find similar folding chars without the front support bar on the bottom?
