A documentary short film that portrays stories and relationships behind the creativity of people to solve their everyday problems by using 'chairs', which are one of the clearest representations of urban solutions in Bangkok. This project is to investigate the properties of chairs in many different forms and uses in Thai people’s lives; how an object with a simple function, to sit, has become so diversified, with many different styles, materials, and uses. Since the chairs are the repetitions on the streets, they can depict the structure of the society and culture we are in. We should be provoked to question their presence and not look at them and other ordinary things through superficial lenses the way we used to.
