1000 Chairs (Bibliotheca Universalis) is a meticulously updated compendium showcasing over a thousand iconic chair designs spanning multiple design movements and eras.

## Description

More than any other piece of furniture, the chair has been subjected to the wildest dreams of the designer. The particular curve of a backrest, or the twist of a leg, the angle of a seat or the color of the entire artifact; each element reflects the stylistic consciousness of an era . From Gerrit Rietveld and Alvar Aalto to Verner Panton and Eva Zeisel, from Art Nouveau to International Style, from Pop Art to Postmodernism, the history of the chair is so complex that it requires a comprehensive encyclopedic work to do it full justice. 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. Early designers and pioneers of the modern chair are presented alongside the most recent innovations in seating . This dedicated compendium displays each chair as pure form, along with biographical and historical information about the pieces and their designers. An illuminating tome for design aficionados and an essential reference for collectors.

Magnifique livre ! Les photos sont superbes et la sélection de chaises est vraiment impressionnante, on voyage à travers toutes les époques et les styles. C’est à la fois une source d’inspiration et un bel objet à avoir dans sa bibliothèque. La qualité d’édition est top, fidèle à ce que fait Taschen. Je recommande vivement pour tous les passionnés de design ou simplement ceux qui aiment les beaux livres.
