This international survey traces the development of chair design in the century 1850-1950 as seen in the work of over sixty craftsmen, designers and architects including Alvar Aalto, the Bauhaus, Marcel Breuer, Carlo Bugatti, Le Corbusier, Charles Eames, Elieen Gray, Hector Guimard, Josef Hoffmann, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Mies van der Rohe, Morris and Co., Pel, Gerrit Thomas Rietveld, Richard Riemerschmid, Emile-Jacques Ruhlmann, Mart Stam, Thonet and Frank Lloyd Wright. A discussion of the work of each designer or firm is complemented by biographical information and illustrated with line drawings and photographs, both contemporary and specially commissioned. An introduction by Philippe Garner, together with a selected bibliography of further reading and an index of designers and manufacturers, make this an indispensable guide to modern chair design.
