Overview

Playing musical chairs with Rachel Vosila wouldn't just be fun — it'd be a furniture frenzy and a design showcase too. No two seats would look the same, with each crafted and constructed by Vosila using different materials and tools. In fact, she already has 52 she could use. They're the end result of her One a Week project, a year-long quest to challenge her skills.

The idea really is as simple as it seems, although the results are anything but. Vosila made a new chair every week over the course of twelve months — that's 52 chairs for the 52 weeks of 2015. But they're not the kind of practical pieces you'd see in any old dining room (although, once you see them, you'll definitely want them in yours).

Lucky for us, the Sydney-based artist's handmade seats are coming to Brisbane for one week only. The end result of her year of hard work will be on display at Homemaker The Valley from May 20-26.

No, you can't sit on them. Nor will the music won't stop while you're walking around them. But you'll most probably be inspired to stretch your own talents, look at home décor a little differently, and consider redecorating your house. For a look at what to expect, have a peek at Vosila's Instagram.
