Stacked

Seen on my way to a 5:00 PM meeting late today. Just a bunch of chairs stacked up and set against the wall, waiting either for use in the near future or for pickup by the facilities staff.

Anyway, I loved the colors—the black of the chairs and baseboard, the white of the wall, the textured beige of the floor, and especially the bright silver symmetry of the chair legs. Had to stop and take a pic before catching the elevator upstairs to my meeting, and now I can share with you.😀

UPDATE – For Carol ~ I stopped by the stack of chairs on my way to class this morning and took this photo.

This chair was super easy to unstack and then restack. To restack the chairs, instead of needing to lift a chair up above the already-stacked chairs and then place it carefully down to fit it into its place atop the stack, you can just lift your chair to the height of the highest chair and then push/slide it back into/onto the stack from the front. Not having a horizontal bar across the back two legs is what allows you to do this. Kinda cool! If I were in charge of setting up and striking the furniture for events like conferences or lectures, I’d want chairs like these. Easy and quick!

    I find the stack of chairs intriguing. The more I stare at the chrome legs the more I cannot imagine what just a single chair would look like by itself. At first I thought it was an optical illusion that my eyes were playing tricks on me. However, the design of the legs would look more asymmetric by itself. Am I right or wrong?

    • I was trying to figure that out myself. It looks like there is a single connector bar between the two front legs, but none between the two back legs. And that connector bar is set really high. I teach in that building tomorrow, so if the chairs are still there, I’ll lift one off the stack and take another picture to post.😂

    That would be wonderful to be able to see the the design of the legs in full 🙂 Carol
