Has our meaning of sitting been colonised by Modern design? And how is the diverse, social-cultural act of sitting itself reflected in this functional commodity?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn observing and analysing social and cultural differences through chairs from eight cultures in the most populated countries, Sicilian designer Matteo Guarnaccia went on a field research to portray each country, in collaboration with selected local design studios, to situate each cultural context into the form of a chair. This project diversifies the supposedly mundane parts of chair-culture and chair design, to open the conversation of identity, community and a reality divided into a global and local conglomerate expression through chairs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction Interviews by FormaFantasma and Aldo Cibic followed by contributed texts by Tulio Amarante, Ana Elena Mallet, Hisashi Ikai, Ayos Purwoaji, Shell Xu, Spandana Gopal, Alexandra Sankova and Wale Lawal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Central Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45218454077592,"sku":"9789083350103","price":690.0,"currency_code":"MXN","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0629\/2157\/2504\/files\/18_09_2023048611.webp?v=1722282374","url":"https:\/\/tienda.b-o-o-n.com\/en\/products\/cross-cultural-chairs-8-chairs-from-8-countries-diversifying-modern-seating-matteo-guarnaccia","provider":"Boon Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
