solitude:

a chair whose value is defined solely through
the one person: Its about personal reflection,
the value inherent in the relationship with yourself.
creating through meditation,
the time you spend with yourself.

community:

framed as an intentional workshop to teach to simple
woodworking skills and active participation in production

each participant chose a part of the chair to make, and began
the hardwork of producing measuring, cutting, drilling, etc.
at our second meeting we came together to assemble each chair.
the nine chairs will have a home in the community at The Welcome Project.

now is the time
—

a participatory project creating folding chairs, on three scales of relationships

“I had three chairs
in my house;
one for solitude,
two for friendship,
three for society.”
-
Henry David Thoreau
