free chairs! (as in beer, not speech)

dixonchairgrab.jpg

tom dixon had a chair grab in trafalgar square where hundreds of his polystyrene chairs were available for anyone to take home. but then, to make money, he coated eight of the same chairs in copper and has them on sale for an unnamed price at moss. i like this new application of the open source model, where everyone can get something useful for free but a unique version is available for those who pay.
