The chairs in this series (there are 2 existing. price listed is for each chair.) are part of Preus's Social Furniture project which takes materials salvaged from the closed Chicago Public Schools and refashions them into art/design objects. Preus is currently working with Chicago developers and social service organizations to develop some of these objects into limited production items, using local labor.

Dilettante Studios
Dilettante Studios (DS) is a small, full-service design/build studio specializing in hand-crafted furniture, cabinets, carpentry, built-ins, environments, installations and art fabrication, using primarily found, inherited, re-purposed and salvaged materials. We also work with virgin materials when necessary, but do our best to go second-hand whenever possible, as both a principle and an invited opportunity for adaptive design. We hope you will work with us for our expertise as much as our commitments to waste reduction and creativity.
