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

The Great Chair Hack of 2014!
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.
