“The chair is an everyday object, but also a design icon. In this exhibition, we find different approaches ranging from conventional chairs to more conceptual approaches, “said gallery director Klaus Steinmetz.

Metal pipes, wooden sleepers that were once used on railroads, computer parts, steel, galvanized steel and glass, were used as raw material for these works.

The chair designed by Marco Mora offers a nostalgic look at TVs the ’50s and ’60s, while Pamela Hernandez structures fail to give old computers a new use. Montserrat Mesalles Tuborete designed his work from industrial pipelines and pulleys. The ergonomic seat consists of a conducting tube of vapor which emerges from the wall and has the support of a compressor pulley.
