CASE STUDY
— THE CHAIR
DESIGN
Each period of design history has its quintessential chairs. From the humble stool to the throne, they bear cultures and tell of time and place. The chair is the designer’s most challenging object, closer to a human being than any other piece of furniture, it contains the body, supporting it and reflecting it. Straight-backed or curvaceous, folded in plywood or woven in wire, vintage yet fresh or from now yet classic, everyday but rare. Our 12-page HOMAGE TO THE CHAIR celebrates expression and function.
