apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I use a strobe tuner and a spindle sander to tune the bars that make up the seat. There are twenty chairs in the edition and seventeen different scales. The scales are all over the map. I particularly enjoyed asking musician friends for the five notes they would take to the deserted island. Custom scales are also possible.

The 20 limited edition Invisible Chairs are available with the following notes:

1. D, D#, F, A, D


2. D, D#, G#, A, D (a scale danny elfman, the soundtrack composer, likes to use)


3. C, C#, F, G, G# (”yo” scale, one of two traditional Japanese scales)

5. C, D, D#, F, G (minor pentatonic)
