Why wall charts still hang in Tbilisi trade offices

A corridor chart is a shared object. People can point at a month. They cannot point at a sentence someone said last Tuesday.

We are sometimes asked why the finished work is paper. The honest answer is the corridor. In trade offices along the avenue and in cellars outside the city, a chart that hangs in a shared space is argued with all week. A figure spoken in a sitting evaporates by Thursday.

Hanging order matters. The first sheet should be the one that states the question in units the room already uses. The second should show the usual seasonal shape. Only then does a forecast range belong on the wall. A range on sheet one looks like a claim. A range on sheet four looks like a conclusion the other sheets earned.

Print also survives a power cut, a guest who should not open a folder, and a director who reads with a finger. We keep spare clips at the atelier for that reason. If a client later wants a smaller desk copy, we print one. We do not replace the wall set with a promise that everyone will remember the sitting.
