Made for the United Nations: The Creation of the Council Chair
Council is not just another chair. Council is a design process that took its point of departure in New York City 10 years ago. In 2011, Kasper Salto & Thomas Sigsgaard, who make up the design duo Salto & Sigsgaard, entered the winning bid in a design competition to partially refurbish the interior of the Trusteeship Council Chamber (also known as the Finn Juhl Chamber) at the UN headquarters in New York. The chamber has been repurposed multiple times and it is today the most heavily used, in which all UN members are represented.
