The green chair is about the expedience of current life. The streets are always littered with discarded furniture conveniently discarded in the mobility of modern living. The authorities charge a minimum of $50 dollars to dump a piece of furniture if you can get it to the Waste Depot 30 minutes from where the population centre is and the owners either can't or afford the dump fee or don't have access to suitable trainsport to get it there - so it ends up decorating the street in a modernist irony of both parties often committed to a "Green" future.
