A commission consisting of Italo Lupi, Alessandro Mendini, Sandro Silvi and Matteo Vercelloni has selected the Moving stool for the Pulchra contest - "The Most Beautiful Things in the World". Pulchra is a game devoted to beautiful objects and to people who love them and want them to last forever: because with Pulchra the winning items will be preserved and will travel into the future.
The contest starts from 31st January 2008 to 31st December 2008 and can be found online at the web site www.pulchra.org. You have only to choose the 10 items you like the most to win the 10,000 euros prize. The winning objects will be the 10 item most voted, and at the end of the year they will be placed in a waterproof metal capsule for burial in a park, where a beautiful, custom-designed garden will be created on the surface above. Year after year, with subsequent editions of the contest, a mosaic of gardens will mark the existence of this invisible museum of beauty - a small, yet brilliant hidden treasure for future archaeologists to find.
But who will win the prize of 10,000 euros in gold coins? The participant who comes closest to guessing the final standings of the ten items receiving the most votes.
