Publisher's summary: In 100 days, over a period of 2 years, he managed to reconfigure the design of 100 chairs that had been thrown away and subsequently "rescued" by Gamper. The chairs themselves form a sort of mosaic of well-known design pieces and mundane household objects. His idea was to transform their original character and function to bring to the fore their potential as derived from a fusion of different styles and structures in an exercise that bridges the gap between craftsmanship and research. Martino Gamper is an eccentric figure in comparison with his generation and consolidated models. His projects throw new light on the role of design and the theory behind it. Each one of Gamper's creations encompasses a world of materials, techniques, people and places, and the final product is a synthesis of them all. This book illustrating Gamper's new work is faithful to the mould and consequently refreshingly original.
