An active element since 2009, each spring Harvard Yard comes to life with the arrival of “the chairs.” These brightly colored Luxembourg Chairs dot Harvard Yard, encouraging students, faculty, and staff to gather, relax, and socialize.

Each day the chairs are arranged and rearranged by the community in different ways, forming outdoor classroom spaces, small group clusters, and even incorporated into outdoor performances and games.
