CONFESSIONS OF A CHAIR

It must be because of the frame, at least a little. That little chapel from the 500s, intimate, modest and sweet, right next to the Basilica di Sant'ambrogio. It must be, atleast partially, the exhibit, inevitable and obligant. What we can be certain of is that all these experimental chairs lined up in there, are most probably the most moving thing that you can see during these hectic days of the fair.
A little bunch of empty chairs (chairs without people are always beautiful, you cannot argue with that) lined up for an impossible prayer. All of them are a little beaten up, scetched up, embryonic. Each with its own personalty, its know-how, its dignity and you can almost imagine the according believer. The young and beautiful one, the dogmatic believer, the sarcastic, the annoying, the coward and the seraphic. A gentle and pacific battlefield of chairs on which you cannot neither sit on nor prey on.
