The present invention relates to a light weight foldable seating system capable of being folded in single vertical plane and utilized in various ground surface conditions. The seating system is single legged and includes a sitting base at top, a vertical column, two foldable horizontal legs and a hinge mechanism. The horizontal legs balance the seating system when in contact with the underlying surface by allowing the user to keep his foot on each of said legs. A locking mechanism provided in the vertical column restrains the horizontal legs from moving opening needlessly when in folded configuration.
