Tasarımcı Martino Gamper’in “100 günde 100 sandalye tasarımı” projesnden bir seçki Londra Design Museum’da Confornting the Chair kapsamında sergilendi. 25 Şubat 2007 tarihine kadar açık kalan sergide Gamper’in “neden sandalye?” sorusuna yanıtı oldukça ilginçti.
Sandalyenin kitap gibi olduğunu düşünüyorum; özgül bir zaman, özgül bir çağ hakkında birşeyler söylüyor. Bu bakımdan verili zamanı, “şimdi”yi tanımlama baskısı altındayız. Sandalye kültürle ilgili birşey; ilginç olan da bu. Ayrıca sandalyenin dört ayak ve bir arkalığa, bazen iki kolçağa sahip bir arketip olduğunu düşünüyorum: Zorlayıcı (yapısal olarak) çünkü hantal ve fazla ağır görünmemeli.

Connfronting the Chair / Exhibition at the Design Museum
Thursday, December 14th, 2006
‘There is no perfect chair’ declares the designer Martino Gamper, who has been making a chair a day in a bid to make 100 chairs in 100 days. Using a stock pile of discarded and donated chairs Gamper creates his new chairs from elements of existing ones. By deconstructing the chair he gains a new insight into its construction and use of materials which informs the creation of the new design. The process is immediate, spontaneous like sketching in three dimensions. These chairs will be displayed in the Design Museum alongside some selected by Gamper from the Design Museum collection.

A 100 chairs in a 100 Days
Wednesday, October 22nd, 2003
As a continuation of Martino’s interest in making as well as collecting chairs, he has decided to make one hundred chairs in 100 days. He will be collecting chairs from friends, streets and skips. In a way, the whole process of finding and reconstructing chairs works more like a sketchbook he is happy to work with. It should be possible to ‘design’ and ‘sketch’ in 3D. Will any of the hundred become the model of a mass-produced chair? But more generally, what will happen to them? How can they be used? etc.
