MODA: The Great Chair Hack of 2014


Test Your Design Skills! Participate in the 
Great Chair Hack of 2014!



The Great Chair Hack of 2014!
Saturday, April 12

MODA is the lead Cultural Alliance Partner for the 2014 Dogwood Festival. Once again this year, we'll be near the 12th Street entrance to Piedmont Park and on Saturday we'll present an afternoon of "chair hacking!" Form a team and join in the fun or stop by and watch others testing their design skills 1pm and 4pm.
Known for their classic Swedish simplicity, many IKEA products contain components that are simple in form and consistent in their application. This inherent configurability has created an underground movement of "IKEA hacking" where people modify, rebuild, reconfigure and customize IKEA pieces to fit their needs.
In keeping with this trend, teams of students, professionals, artists and/or hackers are invited to explore what a piece of IKEA furniture can become. Teams will be given an IKEA chair, three hours, and tasked with making anything but a chair. Prizes for best hacks will be given.
To participate, just assemble your own team of 2-4 participants and register by contacting Katie Simms at 404.856.5961 or ksimms@museumofdesign.org.
The deadline to register is Tuesday, April 8.
