DESIGN TERMINAL, BUDAPEST (HU)
“Class of Chairs” by AlYaqoub, Al Saddah, and Al Mehdari, embodies the archetype personas of a Kuwaiti high school. Familiar pieces of furniture evoke a playful ambience of identifiable nostalgia. The high school sub culture is a reflection of external social attitudes towards these stereotypes, hinting that these fun and hard times of a teenager are in fact, a global occurrence.
