With the rapid advancement of technology and the expansion of large cities, urban spaces are becoming smaller, requiring furniture that adapts to these new realities. This paper presents the development of a modular chair, using design methods and industrial processes, focusing on ergonomic, semiotic, and mechanical resistance aspects. The chair was designed to be dynamic, easy to handle, and made with durable materials, allowing its use for various purposes and users. Tests conducted with ANSYS software and analytical calculations via FORTRAN showed minimal differences between the results, with seat stress of 0.9391 MPa (numerical calculation) and 0.9158 MPa (analytical calculation), and maximum vertical displacement of 0.62 mm and 0.48 mm, respectively.
