Villa Terrace “Chair”-ity Challenge

ThirdCoast Digest was asked to donate an artful representation of a chair for their upcoming fundraiser: A Chair to Remember. After a few brainstorming sessions, we decided to make a chair that could have the potential to grow in the time leading up to the event. We considered creating a chia paste, cutting out grooves in the piece to plant seeds and mixing beer with moss.

I’d come across a recipe before for a graffiti moss mixture and thought perhaps this could work if applied to roughly sanded wood. So, here’s to hoping. Plan A for the chair design is underway. I will keep you posted on the process and let you know if the moss actually begins to grow in the next couple weeks. If not, we’ll move on to Plan B. Check out this video documenting the initial process. And comment below if you have any other “living” chair ideas.
