Hofman Dujardin architects: Oyes chair

'Oyes' by dutch firm Hofman Dujardin architects has been created for the charity project in Cape Town organized by chair manufacturer Dietiker and AIT magazine. One hundred architecture and interior design offices across europe were selected to redesign the ‘ono’ chair produced by the company. 
For their proposal the chair is a model of a building with a height of 760m, an urban icon for Cape Town. While the 'ono' chair can be used by a maximum of two people, the 'Oyes' chair with a surface of 800.000m2 can host about 50.000 people. Four slim feet of 25x30m. Each foot will intervene in the existing urban fabric, connecting people from different areas. 
The charity auction to sell the ideas/chairs will take place in spring 2010.
