20 Chairs / 20 Architects is an exhibition that will run at the O’Driscoll Furniture showroom on Lombard Street, Dublin 2, from 19 April until mid-May.

This exhibition has been arranged by the furniture designers Simon and Tadgh O’Driscoll and for it they have called upon 20 architects to select a chair each to display, with an explanation of the importance of what that chair means to them. Some architects have chosen designs of their own, or chairs that have have featured in spaces of their design, others have selected chairs that have a personal relevance or resonance. Needless to say there will be more than a few icons, such as Arne Jacobsen’s Egg Chair.
