The Chairs of Bennington College

Literally, the chairs. The seating around here is pretty random: all the houses have different furniture, mostly in single pieces instead of sets. The classrooms in the Barn mostly have weird plastic chair-desks (which they use because they were a gift), except for the ones that don't. The other classroom spaces are even more random. The student center will supposedly have locally-made wooden benches (but no TV... that's a rant for another day, I'm afraid). Here are some of the chairs I haven't mentioned.

Adirondacks at the End of the World

There are green Adirondack chairs all over Commons Lawn. Here are three at the rock wall known as the End of the World.

Garden Party for One

This chair is sitting under a tree by Commons. It goes on the porch/patio with its brethren, but I like it better under this tree.

Downstairs Commons

These chairs are shiny aluminum! Not the most comfortable things in the world, but they're amazingly light and I like them a lot. There are also armchairs and sofas in this room.
