Has our meaning of sitting been colonised by Modern design? And how is the diverse, social-cultural act of sitting itself reflected in this functional commodity?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn observing and analysing social and cultural differences through chairs from eight cultures in the most populated countries, Sicilian designer Matteo Guarnaccia went on a field research to portray each country, in collaboration with selected local design studios, to situate each cultural context into the form of a chair. This project diversifies the supposedly mundane parts of chair-culture and chair design, to open the conversation of identity, community and a reality divided into a global and local conglomerate expression through chairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduction by FormaFantasma and Aldo Cibic followed by contributed texts by Tulio Amarante, Ana Elena Mallet, Hisashi Ikai, Ayos Purwoaji, Shell Xu, Spandana Gopal, Alexandra Sankova and Wale Lawal.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dale Zine Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49231165128947,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0266\/3415\/8142\/files\/Cross_Cultural_Chairs_Set_Margins_24_Dale_Zine_Shop.jpg?v=1781033135","url":"https:\/\/dalezineshop.com\/products\/cross-cultural-chairs-8-chairs-from-8-countries-diversifying-modern-seating-matteo-guarnaccia-ed","provider":"Dale Zine Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
