This project involvessystematically collecting discarded chairs from London streets (or more frequently,friends’ homes) over a period of about roughly two years, then spending 100 days to reconfiguring the design of each one in an attempt to transform its character and/or the way it functions.

"As well as possibly making one or more designs that might be suitable for mass production, I intend toquestion the idea of there being an innate superiority in the one-off, to use thismongrel morphologyto demonstrate the difficulty of any particular design being objectively judged 'the best' ".
