1001 Street Chairs of Cairo is a growing photographic archive of street chairs in the city. The projected started in 2011 and was published as a book titled: Sidewalk Salon (Onomatopee/Kotob Khan 2015).
The project also culminated in a series of exhibitions, including an installation to mark the launch of the book during Dutch Design Week and more recently in Dubai Design Week 2016. Images of the installation can be seen on Onomatopee's website: http://www.onomatopee.net/project.php?progID=acb42aa6f5aa635d910a5f4ce4eed0c0
In addition to the book, exhibition and videos, an interactive map-based website was developed with some of the material from the project:
