The “Invisible Stools” exhibition, held at Septième from February 27th to March 13th, 2022, showcased 50 stools collected from 16 countries by Wang Chen, founder of the vintage furniture buyer dontouch. The concept of “INVISIBLE STOOLS” was derived from “Invisible Cities” by Italo Calvino: similar to Marco Polo as a globe-trotter, who described his experiences to the emperor by imagining 55 cities he encountered during his journey, Wang Chen, as a traveler, collected stools from different cities as symbols of everyday life in various cultures. This exhibition reflected on the infinite possibilities of this type of object. The description of “not being seen” also interpreted the characteristic of stools as negligible yet indispensable in shaping our daily lives.
“看不⻅的凳子”展览于2022年2月27日至3月13日在SEPTIÈME举办，展出中古家居集合品牌dontouch主理人王宸从16个国家收集的50把凳子。INVISIBLE STOOLS 取自意大利作家 Italo Calvino的短篇小说 Invisible Cities (看不⻅的城市)，主⻆⻢可波罗作为旅行者，将自己在旅程中收集到的经历通过想象出55个城市的方式，描述给帝王。同样作为旅行者的王宸从不同的城市中，将凳子作为各类文化日常生活的缩影收集在了一起，并通过这次展览的方式来反思这一类物件的无限可能性。“不被看⻅”这一描述也诠释了椅子并不引人注目的特性，但椅子仍旧是塑造我们日常生活不可或缺的元素。
