Hong Kong Informal Seating Arrangements Michael Wolf

"The chairs themselves, as well as looking visually fascinating, portray the thriftiness and conscious efforts of the Chinese to never let materials go to waste." - Michael Wolf

In this book, Wolf documents a collection of makeshift seating arrangements found in the alleyways of Hong Kong. Typically comprised of fragments of broken seating, they are bound with fabric, plastic and string - balanced, propped and supported by appendages of salvaged material.

Hong Kong Informal Seating Arrangements is the 3rd of 9 volumes from Michael Wolf's Hong Kong Back Alley Encyclopedia, in which he celebrates the diverse aspects of street life in Hong Kong and the improvisational skills of the urban residents.
