100 Seats of India
An interactive website that archives a selection of seats and seating culture in India
This interactive website is an extension of deeply researched essays from the book From the Frugal to the Ornate: Stories of the Seat in India. More about the book and project here.
The website presents the 8 chapters as themes, but also presents an alternative selection of views – either as a listing of 100 chairs in a grid, or as an interactive, playful visualization. A ‘stories’ tab invites participation from viewers to share anecdotes and observations. The intent is to encourage discovery, self curation of the content and ultimately look at seats and seating in a new light.
Scope
