Its premise lies in bringing together chairs and tables borrowed from numerous people who are considered 'important' within their own professional fields as well as being connected to the exhibition's city, in this case, Antwerp. These items, which have traveled from the various domestic or work spaces of their respective owners, form a temporary community in the gallery space, portraying the different stylistic expressions and social conditions of these individuals' lives, activities and their aspirations. Yang creates a space of collectives and engagements where the traditional distinction between functional design and the art object become obsolete, performed through the generosity of the lenders in agreeing to share their items.

In dit werk brengt Haegue stoelen en tafels samen, geleend van tal van mensen die binnen hun eigen vakgebied als ‘belangrijk’ worden beschouwd en verbonden zijn met de stad waar de tentoonstelling plaatsvindt, in dit geval Antwerpen. Deze objecten, onttrokken aan de verschillende huiselijke of professionele ruimtes van hun respectievelijke eigenaars, vormen een tijdelijke gemeenschap in de galerieruimte, en portretteren de verschillende stilistische uitdrukkingen en sociale omstandigheden van het leven, de activiteiten en aspiraties van deze mensen. Haegue creëert een ruimte van verbindingen en relaties waarbij het traditionele onderscheid tussen functioneel ontwerp en kunstobject wordt opgeheven, en die tot stand wordt gebracht dankzij de vrijgevigheid van de leners die vrijwillig hun objecten uitlenen en delen.
