A 100 Chairs in 100 Days

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.
