The Instagram gallery dedicated to chairs has showcased over 1,100 pieces, merging art with design through collections from both established and emerging designers. Initially featuring designer finds, user submissions have significantly enriched the gallery over time. The article discusses how these chairs connect to human experiences, embodying presence through their anthropomorphic characteristics and design language. Each chair reflects a narrative, evoking memories tied to them, symbolizing various emotions and roles in society, while epitomizing innovation and craftsmanship in design.
They're also objects that we all have a history with of course, that have existed across all phases of our lives: "We form subconscious connections with them, remembering the ones we grew up with, sometimes even getting attached".
Even the language we use to describe them - legs, seats, backs, arms, sometimes even headrests - shapes our perception and makes them somehow close to us, like an animal.
