Chairity Project returns with 20 Reinterpreted Series 7 Chairs

The Chairity Project returned again this year with 20 creatives, 20 charities and 20 reinterpreted Series 7 Chairs.

November 14th, 2015

Tags: CULT

The Chairity Project 2015 is the second edition of Cult’s esteemed charity event that invites leading Australian and New Zealand creatives to reinvent an iconic chair design. This year Cult partnered with the Republic of Fritz Hansen to reinvent the iconic Series 7 chair and pay homage to renowned Danish designer, Arne Jacobsen.

Each creative was given complete freedom to reinvent the chair, which will be auctioned off to a charity of the creative’s own choice. Auctions close November 22.

Chairity Project 2015 will be displayed nationally throughout Cult showrooms in Sydney (5-7 November), Melbourne (12-14 November) and Brisbane (19-21 November).

To learn more about the design processes, take a look at Cult’s video series here.
