Martino Gamper is an Italian designer based in london who become well known internationally because of his project ; 100 chairs in 100 days. The project involves systematically collecting discarded chairs from london streets over a period of time roughly about two years, then spending 100 days to reconfiguring the design of each one in an attempt to transform its character and/or the way it functions. he investigate the potential for creating useful new designs by blending together stylistic or structural elements of existing chair types. Gamper has stated "There is no perfect chair".
I don't particularly adore any of his chairs but I really like his initial idea of disassembling and assembling again parts of the chair. The idea is simple yet brilliant.
