ReviewsThe ultimate reference book for anyone interested in knowing the what, where, who, why and how of the most iconic chairs from the last two centuries.
Edition DescriptionMultilanguage edition
SynopsisMore than any other piece of furniture, the chair has been subjected to the wildest dreams of the designer. The particular curve of a backrest, or the twist of a leg, the angle of a seat or the color of the entire artifact; each element reflects the stylistic consciousness of an era . From Gerrit Rietveld and Alvar Aalto to Verner Panton and Eva Zeisel, from Art Nouveau to International Style, from Pop Art to Postmodernism, the history of the chair is so complex that it requires a comprehensive encyclopedic work to do it full justice. They are all here : Thonet's bentwood chairs and Hoffmann's sitting-machines, Marcel Breuer's Wassily chair and Ron Arad's avant-garde armchairs. Early designers and pioneers of the modern chair are presented alongside the most recent innovations in seating . This dedicated compendium displays each chair as pure form, along with biographical and historical information about the pieces and their designers. An illuminating tome for design aficionados and an essential reference for collectors., More than any other piece of furniture, the chair has been subjected to the wildest dreams of the designer.

Not what you expect, but still fascinating.
This book wasn't what I expected. It does not provide a good history of chairs. At least not the chairs we expect to find in a book that states that it is the most comprehensive survey of chair design from 1808 to present. What it does is present chairs that were not mainstream. The chairs presented are contemporary and artistic. Most of them well advanced for the year of design. It is a a beautiful picture book with the history of each design written in English, German and French. I would recommend it to someone who is interested in contemporary chair design or who wants a small coffee table book.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
