蒙特雷DECODE设计节到来之际，Mark Reigelman设计了此项特别的巨型椅子。设计所在地为一处公园的一个入口，这里曾是铸造工人的孩子曾经就读的一所学校，如今却成为了一座新型的创造性社区。

设计者发现这里有湖泊、树林、河流，还有大型的钢铁工件，就突发奇想想要塑造一个巨大的雕塑突出工业和自然的对比表现出来的美。他设计的座椅有两层含义：一是为了推动当代工业设计和创造性学科的发展；二是通过这把椅子作为象征学校，代表了社会的发展，知识的增长。

椅子大约,长约14英尺,宽约14英尺,高约30英尺。其阀座的结构对象是由一个木制底座使用2 x 6板钢筋与3/4夹板和不锈钢硬件构成。它支持后方的椅子腿和靠背部分。这些垂直组件连接水平方向的组件构成座位部分。设计者创建丰富、大胆的掩饰框架,125张3/4夹板被划为两种不同深浅的绿色,切成4 x 12条。12000多人用时10天，使用了大约48000个钉子来完成安装。

mark reigelman II was commissioned to develop a site specific work as part of the DECODE design festival program in Monterrey, at the entrance of the adolfo prieto escuela within fundidora park — a school which was once attended by the children of foundry workers, and which is now run by CONARTE and functions as a creative hub for the community.

intrigued by the positioning of large steel artifacts found juxtaposed against the lakes, trees and rivers of the public park, reigelman wanted to create a monumental sculpture that captured this contrast of industry and natural beauty. his concluding vision is ‘nidosilla’, a mammoth-sized ‘nest chair’ which stands to represent two identities — one for DECODE, which celebrates and promotes contemporary industrial design and creative discipline, as expressed through the form of a chair; and another for the school, symbolizing community, knowledge and growth, implied through the impression of a nest as its visual emblem.

Standing at approximately 30 feet tall, 14 feet wide and 14 feet deep, the structure of the mammoth-sized seating object was built from a wooden substructure using 2″ x 6″ boards reinforced with 3/4″ plywood and stainless steel hardware at the joints. Its supporting rear legs and backrest were hoisted by hand and held into position, followed by the front legs. These vertical components were then connected by horizontal members, with the seat being attached last. To create the rich, bold ‘nest’ that camouflages its framework, 125 sheets of 3/4″ plywood were painted in two shades of green, which were cut into 4″ x 12″ strips. Over 12,000 of these were held in place by approximately 48,000 nails to complete the site-specific installation by a team of 20 volunteers, over 10 days. The massive installation was fabricated all on location, using local suppliers and manufacturers.
