24 Euro Chair is a Do It Yourself-Chair

Thanks to my friend Matthias for forwarding on information about this chair. Definitely another candidate for an interview!


Made from one wooden board: The 24 Euro Chair is a Do It Yourself-Chair, that costs 24 Euro and can be built in 24 hours. The idea: Timeless and high quality design for everybody. The chair is inspired by modern classics and is part of a furniture project called „Hartz IV Möbel“ (german welfare). These furnitures are not for sale. The Do It Yourself process is what counts. Someone who used to be on welfare invented this idea in a VHS School (Community Center). The VHS offers now 24 Euro Chair workshops. Construction plan is for free. Find out more here

I'M STRESSED OUT

1. Picture from a disposable camera. Still too nice, but the blurrying effect is promising.

A painting from Romina Bassu's exhibition called "I am stressed out". Her other works only contain symbols of stress (http://rominabassu.blogspot.com) whereas chairs are a symbol of recreation to her. I like the contradiction, a guy frantically seeking relaxation...She will be ready for an interview.

A concert poster of The Whitest Boy Alive. I d like to know the reason why this Berlin-based band has chosen this design. It's referring to precisely the kind of ragtag, puristic, second-hand design we have been talking about all the time. Def another candidate for interview, even more since Erlend Oye has moved back to Norway in the meanwhile.
