 William Hollingsworth "Holly" Whyte, America’s most influential authority on cities, people, and open spaces, was the guiding philosopher behind the revitalization of New York City's Bryant Park, and his love of easy, casual human use was exemplified in his insistence that there be movable chairs in the park.
There are over 3,000 of the quaint green chairs in Bryant Park during the warmer months, inviting people to make their own seating arrangements, to personalize each space. The park welcomes office workers, parents with baby carriages, shoppers, chess players, people watchers, laptop computer users, and businessmen to the distinctive folding chairs around the great green football field-size lawn behind the New York Public Library.
Oblivious to the Urban Chaos.
The Bryant Park is a remarkably peaceful space in one of the most urbanized parts of the planet. People relax, talk and read chairs on the cheerful, comfortable chairs. They are made in France using a design for sidewalk cafe seating, folding easily for storage. Painted steel frame; painted backrest and seat slats made of weather-resistant duraflon. For use indoors and out, day and night. In kitchen or on the deck, perhaps overlooking the vineyards.
