Chair in a FedEx Box: Nine Designers, 90 Days, $200

"Conceived by British designer and Creative Director Phil Nutley, Ninetydays showcases nine one-of-a-kind furniture designs that not only celebrate the conceptual thinking of these visionaries, but spotlights the fast and furious guidelines of a challenge like no other. Nutley sent nine contemporaries from nine cities around the globe an unparalleled challenge: to create a cost-effective, collapsible piece of furniture and ship it to New York inside a large FedEx box within 90 days of receipt of the project brief. What they created was strictly up to them, but the final product and construction had to adhere to the following:

- BUDGET could not exceed $200 (or equivalent)
- EACH DESIGN must support the weight of a person up to 200 lbs (90 kgs)
- CONCISE INSTRUCTIONS must accompany the design in order to assemble it for exhibition"
