Australian Chair Survey
16 Jun 2011 – 23 Jul 2011 Gallery of Australian Design ACT
A national survey of contemporary chair design curated by Melbourne based curator Ramona Barry.
Designing a chair can feel like reinventing the wheel. An object so weighted down by it’s own iconography poses perhaps the greatest design challenge for a furniture designer. Is it possible to create a new classic? Can a chair be particularly Australian? What does that mean anyway? Ramona Barry Monument Magazine Issue 96
