The 30 original chairs, designed and created by key Australian personalities from the worlds of television, radio, fashion, design, interiors and politics, including one from Prime Minister Tony Abbott’s family, go on public display at The Grounds of Alexandria this weekend.

The Take a Seat campaign has been devised by online homewares retailer Temple & Webster. Participants include Sunrise and Dancing with the Stars presenter Edwina Bartholomew, renowned artist and designer Stephen Ormandy (of Dinosaur Designs), stylist and interior designer Shannon Fricke, makeup artist Napoleon Perdis and many more.
