PLEASE OFFER YOUR SEAT TO ANYONE IN NEED

Working with the things that no one else can use anymore. What otherwise would have ended up in the trash has been revived, reinterpreted, recombined, and has thus become part of a commodity again.

PLEASE OFFER YOUR SEAT TO ANYONE IN NEED

Working with the things that no one else can use anymore: In the exhibition Please offer your seat to anyone in need, chairs that students of the Industrial Design class of the University of Applied Arts Vienna have created from broken pieces of furniture and discarded objects are presented in the gallery Franz Josefs Kai 3. What otherwise would have ended up in the trash has been revived, reinterpreted, recombined, and has thus become part of a commodity again. The proceeds of the auction will be donated to the Ute Bock refugee project.
