1000 Chairs

Charlotte & Peter Fiell, 2017, Bibliotheca universalis

Overview

This extensive volume presents 1000 chairs, each featured individually to highlight its form as a representation of 20th-century design. The chair, more than any other furniture item, has been a canvas for designers' boldest ideas. Subtle details like backrest curves, leg twists, seat angles, and color choices reflect the stylistic sensibilities of different eras. The book covers influential designers from Gerrit Rietveld and Alvar Aalto to Verner Panton and Eva Zeisel, spanning movements from Art Nouveau and International Style to Pop Art and Postmodernism.
