With over ninety illustrations, this book traces the history of the chair as we know it from its crudest beginnings up through the modern office variety. Drawing on anecdotes, literary references, and famous designs, Galen Cranz documents our ongoing love affair with the chair and how its evolution has been governed not by a quest for comfort or practicality, but by the designation of status. Relating much of the modern era's rampant back pain to an increasingly sedentary lifestyle spent in traditional seating, Cranz goes beyond traditional ergonomic theory to formulate new design principles that challenge the way we think and live. A farsighted and innovative approach to our most intimate habitat, this book offers guidelines that will assist readers in choosing a chair-and designing a lifestyle-that truly suits our bodies.

Public ISBD Titre : The International Design Yearbook 1995 Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Jean Nouvel, Auteur ; Paul Jodard, Auteur Editeur : London : Laurence King Publishing Année de publication : 1995 Importance : 240 p. Présentation : ill. en coul., couv. ill. en coul. Format : 30 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-85669-059-1 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Chaises -- Design Design -- 1990-....

Among the themes that emerge are the importance of recyclable and low-energy design, and a concern for modular designs that can adapt to changing living spaces and different lifestyles. His selection establishes a new view of design fundamentals, in which the function of a design, the quality of modern materials, and the intuition of the designer combine to form and inform the final work. Full technical data is included, plus detailed biographies of the designers, a list of suppliers' addresses, and an update of design acquisitions at the major museums around the world.
