2005  The Chair Project

The Issaquah Press has a good article here about this project.
Basically, 10 chairs were donated to a group of 10 artists/designers who were given the task to turn each chair into a piece of art. The chairs were auctioned off in August 2011, with all proceeds going to Pratt Fine Arts Center, Seattle.

Larry and Tyler Engle, a Seattle architect, were matched up and began conceptual work in Dec 2010.

Below are photos of the process and end result.
