Matteo Guarnaccia's research project Cross Cultural Chairs will compel you to view furniture in a completely new light. design cityscapes newissue
What’s in a chair? Ask Matteo Guarnaccia, and you are bound to view this humble piece of furniture in a totally new light. The Barcelona-based Sicilian designer, founder and promoter of Cross Cultural Chairs , a non-profit research project that is currently investigating the anthropology of chairs and how people sit around the world, sees it as a cultural marker.
This humble object, he understands, is capable of revealing details of an entire society and its people: how tall they are, what manufacturing processes they use, what materials they have at their disposal, what their tastes and interests in architecture and technology are, and so on…. Guarnaccia’s eight chairs will eventually be exhibited at the Design Museum of Barcelona together with a documentary and 300-page book on the project.
