  • About the Book

Every chair tells its own story, and all of them fit into this book — even the stories in which design is not overtly the topic at hand. Chairs and artificial intelligence; famous chairs on which Freud, Pessoa or Proust sat; chairs as historical, political and societal symbols; chairs for thin or corpulent people; rocking, creative, royal chairs: all these facets of chairs and more are packed into this volume.

Bringing together writers, design historians, architecture critics and art curators, Chairpedia is a compilation of anecdotes about the chair — beginning with Mauricio Wiesenthal’s Tales to Read Seated, published by Andreu World — and comprises a history of chair design told through 101 examples.
