Bade Stageberg Cox collected 50 abandoned chairs on the streets of New York, repaired them and gave them a new life with a coat of taxi cab yellow paint. The bottom of each chair is stamped and documented with the date and location it was recovered. Lovely. Street Seats.
Such a wonderful project !

What a cool project! I can’t pass by abandoned furniture on the site of the streets either…
PS. Had to leave my first comment after seeing you at Apartment Therapy Design evening tonight. Really need to take your 8 principles to heart as I have turned into complainer lately ;)
