Chairs displayed on their own as pure form: An overview of the 20th century More than any other piece of furniture, the chair has been subjected to the wildest dreams of the designers. The particular curve of a backrest, or the twist of a leg, the angle of a seat or the color of the entire artifact all reflect the stylistic consciousness of each era.From Gerrit Rietveld and Alvar Aalto to Verner Panton
Perfect visual guide coffee-table book Chairs are one of the most useful beautiful sexiful things in the world. Yes, they turn me on. I love this book. So many reasons, but I am going to be brief (please, applaud):> Perfect coffee table book.> Decent short texts, right to the point but informative.> Great visual guide of chair design.> Good quality edition.> Good quality full-colour photos.> Taschen's guarantee of serious fun books.> Great sizing and format. Easy to put away or in different places.> Explanations in English, French and Germa. Wonderful book! I got this for my son who loves modern design, along with 1000 Lights (same authors) (chairs and lights are his favorite). He went nuts! Beautiful books, filled with gorgeous pictures and a lot of history. Fabulous addition to the library of anyone who loves modern design.. Wonderfully done asym44 Inclusive, illustrated, excellent review of design choices across the ages. It helped me in a project I had to design a chair or stool for a specific purpose in furnishing our new home. Fun to read and look at the design possibilities across the years. Would be a fine reference for someone who needed to understand the different style trends in furniture. Amazon supplied it in record time.
