There's still the stamp on it saying the design won the ' design prize...in 19..." I've seen you had an exhibition on preparation. I'd be glad be some help. Actually the chair is in a storage but I may take pictures if you request. The color is getting yellowish cause it was kept in light without any other care but scratches are very seldom on it. light polish could remove them. The seat has a brown velvet cushion as if polyvalency was its goal, for inside or outside use. I guess the terrace be seen at the time as inside domestic space detachment. Keep in touch if this could be of interest for you.

I was just wondering if anyone knows who took this photograph? I am currently doing some research into Monobloc chairs on behalf of Wall to Wall Media and would be interested in contacting the photographer.

We are still performing and developing our show. Please watch our videos at www.flybob.com/video.html Here is a link to a rough edit of our street show from last summer. http://festivalvideos.tripod.com/chairmen.mov When doing our show we allow the chairs to crash. In July one chair caught me on the top of the ear and tore it open in front of 500 people. Blood shows up very easily on the white surface of the chair... The audience was suitably freaked out, but we finished the show to great applause. We will be performing at an art gallery here in Alberta with a very strange chair exhibit www.roboticchair.com We are still very interested to perform with and for you if you are still touring museums in Germany. Please stay in touch. All the best, Chairs, Chairman Bob and Chairman Jim Hi Jens:
