Blu Dot Real Good Chair Experiment
Curb-mining is the act of finding furniture and art on the street. Blu Dot, a Soho based furniture company, is attempting to track the curb-mining habits of the New York City residents by leaving chairs scattered throughout the city.
Using a built-in tracking device, the chairs tweeted their whereabouts for several days. Finally the Blu Dot team came a knockin’ and interviewed some of the lucky owners in the video.
We used to grab stuff off street corners. Furniture etc. However, with the rise in bed bug infestations in the area we dont anymore. I have never once bought a couch, nor know anyone that has.
