More 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,&,nbsp,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&,nbsp,Pop Art&,nbsp,to
Postmodernism, the&,nbsp,history of the chair is so complex
that it requires a comprehensive encyclopedic work&,nbsp,to do
it full justice.&,nbsp,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&,nbsp,pioneers of the modern chair&,nbsp,are presented
alongside the&,nbsp,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.&,nbsp,An illuminating tome for design aficionados
and an essential reference for collectors!
