Abstract
A knockdown furniture, such as a chair, comprises a series of elongated tubular members adapted to be interconnected with quick release automatically locking couplings to form a frame of the furniture. A canvas panel having end sleeves can be mounted to the frame to provide a support surface, such as a seat panel, of the furniture. Pockets are provided on one side of the support panel, such as the underside of the seat panel, in order to receive the individual tubular members when the furniture is disassembled. A zipper which is provided at opposed end edges of the support panel is used to form a sleeve therewith which contains the pockets and thus the tubular members, thereby resulting in a compact storage of the dismantled furniture.
