To create new functions or new forms of present chairs, reveals interesting relationships we transgress to our objects.
Whether we chose to discard or to re-arrange, our chairs occupy great space into our habits; and we need to acknowledge this.
There are many observations on the subject of the Discarded Chair.
Artists, designers, photographers, and observers seem to have an interest on the idea of the chair found in its exterior displacement. Whether these chairs are in use or not; they build a new personification.
This subject has become a widespread acknowledgment, in which many have contributed.
Designers, such as Martino Gamper, elaborate these discarded chairs into new functional forms.
Published books show a collection of photographs from different areas exhibiting discarded chairs in their new urban context.
The list of documentation and observation can go on endlessly, what seems to trigger the individual interest is the paradox of the introduction of the private object into the public space.
Does this change the attributes of the Chair?
Does it gain a new context?
Or does it remain a chair to be seated on?
These are questions that one is invited to reflect on when coming across a discarded chair in the space of the urban exterior.
There are many other objects that are discarded, such as lamps, tables, mattresses.
Yet, the chair remains the popular object.
Due to its aesthetic details, and its strong contrast with its new environmental situ, the Discarded Chair gains a new signification.
