[Ponte Alto] Source for wooden medieval chairs?

[MARTINSEN,KENNETH]

Ikea also has a folding wooden chair that works well. 

  If any carpenters are interested, I took some photos of 
Ming dynasty chairs in Shanghi that are folding chairs and 
really cool.  Some with wood seats, some with rope seats.
