100 CHAIRS IN 100 DAYS AND ITS 100 WAYS (5th edition, 5th size) By Martino Gamper

Infamous furniture designer Martino Gamper set out to create 100 chairs in 100 days by retrofitting a stockpile of used chairs into strange and uncanny configurations. Gamper’s chairs only hint at their essential character — as in a dream sequence or a gestural painting. The closer you look, the closer you come to confronting the existential dilemma of Gamper’s project: that the most solid and humble of all furnitures is nothing but a random constellation of disparate elements held together by a system of belief in their essential ‘chairness’. There is, for example a deconstructed bike frame, a Thonet chair with a stuffed pipe-dress, or two famous chairs pulled apart and re-assembled like the limbs of lovers conjoined, in sacred matrimonial bliss. Gamper’s frankensteinian creations are often surprising, sometimes hilarious and always beautiful.
