It is an honor and pleasure to partner with Centerbrook Architects & Planners in a presentation of their Chairshop project. What is the Centerbrook Chairshop? A whole lot of things. 

Chair design by David Petersen

It’s a workshop, sometimes set up in a gallery. It’s a traveling exhibition of chairs designed and created by architects. It’s an exploration of functional art; a novel pathway to creative expression. It’s a chance to indulge your curiosity about how a vision becomes a reality and serves a purpose in your life.

 

Chair design by Justin Hedde

Centerbrook Industrial Designer/Maker Patrick McCauley describes “how building a decent chair involves many ‘micro decisions.’ How sometimes you have to go backward to go forward…how, at some point, you just have to commit and make the cut. How compromise and economy can still yield beauty. How admitting and then fixing your mistakes can be liberating…chair lessons, and life lessons.”
