Swiss charity project Verbier Mountain Climbers comprises old gondolas taken from the Valais ski resort Verbier and refashioned by Swiss designers into stunning works of art.
The image above, taken by Annik Wetter, is Adrien Rovero's "Rock". The elegant télécabine is transformed into a rocking chair displaying stylish constraint. The image below, also by Annik Wetter, is "Vending Machine" by ECAL/Baker Wardlaw. Here proportion is warped to give a sense of history and humor.
This autumn the exhibition will be hosted by Genève Aéroport, after which Christie’s will auction the works for the benefit of the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Switzerland.
