Description

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; 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!About the seriesBibliotheca Universalis — Compact cultural companions celebrating the eclectic TASCHEN universe!

  • Expansively broad, but necessarily shallow
Format: Hardcover
What can you say about a book that shows a thousand chairs? Practically every meaningful chair design from any famous designer is in this, but as a brief introduction only. I think the authors have done a really good job of cramming a lot of images and brief information into a book that still can be lifted with one hand. You could probably get the same information if you were willing to invest hours in an internet search, but it was well worth the price I paid to get a new copy from a second-hand seller for about 1.6 cents per chair. It is a beautiful and well-made edition. ... show more

  • Great Book
Format: Hardcover
I love this book! This is my second one. I would give these as a gift. They are interesting and a novelty if you are just halfway interested in chairs, but they are also a fantastic research guide. T

Format: Hardcover
All the chairs, it would be too much for an average person, but for us chairaholics? Perfect. I leave this on my coffee table to let people know I’m cooler and more sophisticated than them.
