Description

A fun, informative collection of portraits and biographical interviews with fifty designers from all over the world sitting on their sofas, revealing their style, wit, personality―and sofa choices. This fully illustrated volume brings designers and their sofas together as a lighthearted way to find out what makes some of the world’s most famous designers tick. Each of the fifty entries features a portrait of the designer on their sofa, taken at their own home or workplace, sometimes with their family, their pets, or with other possessions. Each photograph captures essential details about the designer's life, work, and style. An in-depth interview accompanies each entry so that readers find out not just about their sofa, for example whether or not they designed it, and if not why they chose it, and who it was designed by, but also about their life, their work, what they’re passionate about, and what they struggle with. Taken together, this unique collection of photographic portraits and interviews provides unique insights into the minds and lives of some of the greatest designers of our time. In addition, a special foldout presents one hundred sofas from the last century with designs by Le Corbusier, Alvar Aalto, Charlotte Perriand, Verner Panton, Cini Boeri, Zaha Hadid, John Pawson, and many more. 200 color illustrations Read more
