The Biombo can be used as a screen, either decoratively or as a room divider most of the time. But when company calls, they can be folded down to become extra chairs.

The Biombo is wooden with the screen portion hinged. The front decorated portion of the screen concertinas down to form the chair. The screen frame still has a backing for back support.  One question that remains is how much weight can the chair handle as it looks quite lightweight.
