100 Chairs

daily practice of thinking through chairs using various art mediums. part of the 100 days of making class. below are some of my favorite (interpretation of) chairs. to see everything else, the good ones & the bad ones, @100chair on instagram.

inspired by yinka ilori’s parables for happiness exhibit at design museum. specifically, the storytelling with furniture section: “chairs and tables have lives and histories – for yinka ilori, they are ‘powerful objects that hold personal stories, secrets, emotions and sentiments.’ ... these narratives give designed objects deeper, richer meanings. ilori’s furniture is not just an exercise in aesthetic ‘vanity’; like the parables that filled his childhood, it asks us who we are and how we want to live.”
