Chairs are an everyday object holding a strong symbolic value. To this day, whenever a meeting is held, somebody "chairs" it. Wooden chairs, in particular, are a bridge leading us into the future. This is the first video in a series aimed at launching an international event that FAO is organizing together with the Government of India. The event celebrates "Rediscovering Wood: The Key to a Sustainable Future" and it will be held later this year. Designers, Architects, Experts and Technicians are all invited to gather together and re-discover wood's character, its protean quality, versatility, durability.
