Prompted by the forthcoming World Cup in South Africa, last year German magazine AIT decided to start up an initiative that would benefit the local inhabitants. For this initiative, the 'Charity Chair' project, a 100 architecture and interior design offices across Europe, including GROUP A, were asked to re-design the 'ONO' chair by Matthias Weber. The re-designed chairs will be sold in an auction in Berlin this autumn, and the revenues generated through this auction will support the the Guga S´Thebe cultural centre and AIDS orphanage in the Langa Township in Cape Town, South Africa. In advance, the chairs will be exhibited in the context of a travelling exhibition which starts on the 10the of June at the AIT-Architektursalon in Munich, and will continue to Hamburg, London, Rotterdam and Kortrijk.
