There seems to be a lot of these 'world record'-like projects happening as of late (or perhaps I'm just noticing them for the first time) and the newest addition is Andy Hall. Deciding one day to create 24 chairs in 24 hours, he set out to do it.
Although Andy Hall didn't complete his project in 24 consecutive hours, it's impressive all the same. Using salvaged materials donated by Rebuilding Exchange, you can view a selection of the 24 chairs in the gallery above.
