In the hectic pace of metropolitan Beijing, things can seem obsolete and outdated very quickly. Studio Wieki Somers went in search of objects that last a long time, and came across the charming personal seats of security guards, street vendors, rickshaw drivers… They are often cherished for life and bear traces of both the user and the maker. Studio Wieki Somers cast them in aluminium – a tribute to the chairs, but also a response to the Chinese copy culture. In China, the colour red stands for fire, happiness, and joy.
