You can vote to help put a Masterpiece in the Philadelphia Museum of Art's Design Collection
(see link at the bottom)
Put them together as an integrated unit and you have a masterpiece. And in doing so, you have a vivid testimonial to Nelson's famous 1965 evocation of "junk" as the "crowning glory" of modern consumer culture, "the symbol as clear a statement as the pyramids, the Parthenon, the cathedrals ... the rusty, lovely, brilliant symbol of the dying years of your time. Junk is your ultimate landscape."
Which one offers the most comfort? Well.....use your imagination.
One of the chairs will become a "Masterpiece" in the Philadelphia Museum of Art's Design Collection
The others become JUNK!
