As daily readers of
The Canadian Design Resource, a particular
posting inspired us to do some contrasting and comparing of our own.
Apparently for reasons unknown to the NDC, artists are fascinated by the stacking, decapitation, and repetition of the everyday mundane chair.
Based upon factors of stackability (level of difficulty), theme (is the artist intent truly represented by the army of chairs?), composition basics, and overall awe-factor, here is an NDC Top-Ten list of Chair Installations:
