Abstract
A flat folding chair system is provided incorporating additional functionality. The folding chair, when collapsed, is retained on pegs protruding from an affixed wall plate. The rear portion of the chair is adapted to removably secure a support panel onto which artwork, marker board, or the like may be mounted. When the chair is in the folded position, the chair can be hung on a wall, where the artwork, or the like, can be displayed. In this manner, the folding chair serves as a decorative, or other useful, wall hanging when the chair is not in use. Further, when the chair is removed and opened to function as seating, the pegs may be available for use as a coat rack.
