The Take A Seat project is a series of guerrilla public art installations that aims to remedy the problem of a lack of available seating for subway commuters.

The project involves rescuing perfectly functional old chairs from trash piles and placing them on subway platforms for tired travelers to make use of.

With very little effort involved in relocating the objects, this very cool concept sees chairs which were once liabilities become valuable assets for the general public.

Seating solutions installed for Take a Seat are not affixed to MTA property in any way, opening up opportunities for collaboration with subway patrons who, if they take the initiative, may continue the project by installing the chairs in other locations that could benefit from more seating options.
