22. RESTAURANT CHAIR
This piece was created by designer Marla Aaron. Marla was inspired by walking home from work this winter in New York. During her walk, she could not help but be moved by the situation with the restaurant industry. She would see the empty restaurants lining the street. She made one in silver, large enough to be a charm yet substantial to be an object, too. World Central Kitchen partnered with Marla, and 100% of the proceeds directly benefit its global effort of putting restaurants and their employees to work to feed the hungry.
