This beautifully curated book explores the artistry, innovation and cultural significance of 50 chair designs.
Celebrating 50 innovative and significant chair designs, each entry highlights how a commonplace item is a reflection of creativity, craftsmanship and the human experience. This is not just a book for design enthusiasts -- it is for anyone who appreciates the quiet elegance of well-made objects that merge form and function.
Organized chronologically, there are a host of iconic pieces, from Marcel Breuer's classic B3 and Jean Prouvé's Standard Chair No.4 with its industrial clarity, to Jasper Morrison's playfully minimalist Air-Chair, alongside vernacular creations that reveal how cultural needs shape utility and beauty. Each piece is treated as a story about form, function, material and the people who imagined them.
The book finds wonder in the ordinary - celebrating chairs as objects we use every day, often without noticing the design thought behind them.
Beauty of Everyday Objects
This small-format, accessible design series celebrates humble, ordinary objects that we interact with every day - the functional and beautiful things that spark joy. Each book features 50 design products that have altered the way we live, work and think.
