Four Seater Empty Chairs
2008
Four Seater Empty Chairs are pieces that explore the negative space, in this case that of a chair. Martino Gamper wanted to create a chair where one would use the inside void of a seat. it can be used in two directions: as a chair and in combination as a desk.
The work was initially conceived in 2004 for an exhibition called Furniture I’ve Always Wanted to Make at the M + R gallery in east London.
LABoral Centro de Arte shows Nowhere/Now/Here, an exhibition curated by the creative partnership of Roberto Feo and Rosario Hurtado (El Último Grito) that challenges the perception of design by questioning our relationship with the environment. Taking the viewpoint that our environment has become part of us rather than us being part of it, as its point of departure, Nowhere/Now/ Here encourages us to see design as an integral component of the world-shaping process.
