Thank you. ********** 1873 As far as I know the Stand and its related designs the Crib and the Seat first appear in 'Die Praxis Des Kindergartens' by August Koehler, which was published by Herman Bohlau in Weimar in 1873. Bank - The Stand
*** Krippe (crib) - The Crib
*** Sopha - The Seat
********** 1895 A similar set of related designs, with some new variants, appear in 'Course of Paperfolding' by Eleonore Heerwart, which was published by Charles and Dible in London and Glasgow in 1895. A Trough - Probably The Stand
*** A Bench - The Seat
*** A Wheeled Chair - The Bathchair The wheels need to be made from cardboard
*** A Table (made like 2) - The Piano Stool
********** 1910 The Bed with Curled Ends This closely related design from a 1 x 4 rectangle appears as 'Bett' (Bed) in 'Allerlei Papierarbeiten' by Hildergard Gierke and Alice Kuczynski, which was published by Drud und Verlag B G Teubner in Leipzig and Berlin in 1910.
