Suspension Seat

Tension Based Portable Seat

Inspired by the structure of a suspension bridge, this design uses sailing cam locks to hold it in tension, causing the structure to rigidify and transform into a ground rocking seat. When the tension is released, the structure becomes flexible, allowing it to be folded down and easily carried using built-in handles for portability.
