4x4 Chair Challenge

For the first part of this project, we were asked to make a chair that would fold from a 4'x4' sheet of cardboard into a seat. No glue or adhesives could be used, and no sections of the square could be cut out. After supporting the designer at least 6 inches off the ground, the chair should be able to unfold into the 4'x4' sheet. 

In my design, the square in the center acts as the seat for the chair, and the side strips fold into themselves to become the legs. Slits keep the cylinder legs self-contained. Since they are still attached to the center, they move under the chair easily and keep the pieces attached. My chair ended up about 16 inches off the ground and supported my weight fine.
