Sitting Outside the Rules: Chair Design

Pera Kids
Ages 7-12

  • August 3, 2024 / 13:30

Will the future houses continue to be influenced by the Bauhaus design school that we are used to seeing in modern homes today? In the workshop inspired by the exhibition PƎR Reverse, the children learn about designs at different scales based on the understanding of interiors developed at the Bauhaus and share their experiences about the chairs they often use. After producing 1:1 scale drawings of different forms of seating, each child designs their dream chair for the future home by using simple geometric shapes prepared in advance. At the end of the workshop, each participant presents their design and diplays their chair.

Instructor: İpek Kay
Capacity: 12 people
Duration: 90 minutes
Fee per workshop: 250 TL

The event will take place in the Pera Museum (face-to-face).

He had imagined the court room as a big place. It wasn’t. It was about the size of his living room, with an elevation at one end, with a dais on it. The judges and the attorneys sat there. Below it was an old wooden rail, worn out in some places. That was his place. There was another seat for his lawyer. At the back, about 20 or 30 chairs were stowed out for the non-existent crowd.

It was a quiet night in the dessert. Even the mice weren’t around. A few LEDs blinked in the dark, and the sound of a fan filled the infinite void. The conversation cutting the silence seemed to go nowhere.

He didn’t expect this from me. And I hadn’t expected that we would decide to get married that day, at that moment. Everything happened all of a sudden, but exactly like it was supposed to happen in our day. We thought of the idea of marriage simultaneously, we smiled simultaneously, blinking and opening our eyes in unison.
