1000 Chairs - Charlotte Fiell
More than any other piece of furniture, the chair has been subjected to the wildest dreams of the designers. From Gerrit Rietveld and Alvar Aalto via Verner Panton to Eva Zeisel&894 from Art Nouveau to International Style, from Pop Art to Postmodernism, the phenomenon of the chair is so complex that it requires a reference work as comprehensive as this to do it full justice. The particular curve of a back-rest, or the twist of a leg, the angle of a seat or the colour of the entire artefact all reflect the stylistic consciousness of each era.
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.
