The chair intends to challenge notions of functionality, purpose and unidimensional ways of interaction and communication, and allows the viewer to broaden and expand their perception around ideas of ‘use’. It doesn’t aim to deceive, rather stands as a link between ours and the
object’s reality. Its collapsible nature doesn’t necessarily denote the failure of the chair, but in turn acts as a possibility of it being more than what we perceive it to be. It draws some parallels to how living and being in Khirki extension was for me, in terms of fragility, alienation and anxiety. It reciprocates the anxiety that the viewer would approach it with, but at the same time also allows a new relationship to be formed in the act of coexisting.
