As part of Abu Dhabi's fourth annual art fair, Japanese artist Tadashai Kawamata created a round tower made of thousands stacked chairs. Called "Chairs For Abu Dhabi", the approximately 20-foot tall sculpture took Kawamata about five days to build. The artist has installed previous versions of the piece in France, but the Abu Dhabi artwork is very unique. "This time it's not a specific chair at all," he said. "It's more of a mixture of all kinds of wooden, metal, colorful chairs - everything. An empty chair is waiting for people to sit down, and then a chair is connecting to other chairs," he explained. "So it's really like a waiting spot, open for everybody to sit down. That's kind of the metaphor we're using."

thank you
ReplyDeleteI love that passage that they created. I think that chair collectors will absolutely visit this place for that stacked chairs.
ReplyDeleteI’m afraid of going in the middle of those stacked chairs. It looks like it will collapse soon.
ReplyDeleteOh, I saw the strings that make all the chairs attached. Same as Anna, I don't think I'll try to enter the stacked chairs. All those chairs can fit in my apartment in salcedo village, of course not the way it's stacked like that.
ReplyDeleteI first thing that came out of my mouth was wow! Up to know I still wonder on how much effort was put in building this. I wanted to try this out using modern furniture from Los Angeles but the lack of perfect plan keeps me from doing so.
ReplyDeleteA tiny house made of furniture... I really get the craziest and most artistic ideas here in junk-culture. This is just... WOW.
ReplyDeleteVery artistic indeed! I can't imagine my living room having that kind of chair design.
