60 CHAIRS

In a three day span, Max Lamb transformed five 4" slabs of polystyrene into 60 chairs. To prepare, Lamb drew a meticulous cutting list where each slab yielded 12 chairs, with little material waste left behind. Each of the 60 Chairs has been hand cut, sprayed, signed, numbered, photographed, wrapped, and packed by Lamb. This is Lamb's first editioned chair... 60 Chairs breaks down and elevates the human production line. A marathon performance lasting three days: repeating cuts, gluing, assembly, and finally spraying. "The making process was a constant counting game. 60 chairs meant 240 legs and 540 individual parts in total. So much repetition. So much counting. So much longing to get to chair number 60." This edition is coated in un-pigmented polyurethane rubber, unaltered from the tin, the colorway is titled "resin."
