Every child loves pint-sized versions of their parents’ belongings. To fulfil those desires, Flux Furniture has created a miniature version of its award-winning foldable and portable Flux Chair. In line with the adult model, the junior model is molded from polypropylene (PP) resin from SABIC.

The material’s excellent strength to weight ratio enables the Flux Junior to withstand active use while allowing kids to move the chair easily. It also provides outstanding durability and resilience so the chair can be used outdoors. The high-performance block copolymers offer a good blend of properties that enable thin hinges to be incorporated into the thicker, rigid chair body.
