- Badge 1 sits on the single chair on the pedestal. The chair is chosen and set apart for close looking.
- Badge 2 sits on the stacked chairs. Stacking changes the ordinary chairs into a new arrangement.
- Badge 3 sits on the cloth over the stacked chairs. Wrapping changes the chairs' surface and shape.
