Exhibition / 100 Chairs in 100 Days by Martino Gamber, Re-construction
Curator / Benjamin Loyauté_

LE CORBUSIER SITE (Firminy)



In paying the final tribute to Le Corbusier, André Malraux said: "Whenever we see a modern building we'll always say ‘that’s Le Corbusier’". Martino Gamper’s "100 Chaises en 100 Jours" (100 Chairs In 100 Days) have had such an impact on people’s minds that, far off in the distance, we can already hear people talking about a chair reconstructed from other chairs and saying “that’s Martino Gamper”. He and his one hundred wooden, plastic and metal soldiers certainly deserved an invitation to come to France and now here they are, in the church in Firminy.
