In recent years, there has been a great deal of interest in 'design
classics', both in their increased availability and affordability
through re-issues, and in their widespread re-interpretation by
contemporary designers and artists. Focusing on chairs, this book
examines this significant aspect of contemporary design practice.
It does so, not only in terms of works by well-known designers, but
also relative to ubiquitous designs such as the monobloc, Thonet
number 14, and Ming chairs. These varied examples of re-imagining
and re-working are examined from an international perspective as
designers and artists across the globe seek to bring new formal,
material, and narrative interpretations to these iconic designs.
Renewed interest in do-it-yourself, together with the growth of
hacking, open-source design and digital fabrication, have all
contributed to an expansion of the concepts of re-imagine and
re-make in the new millennium. Embraced by professionals, amateurs
and companies alike, these developments further attest to the
diverse practice of re-interpretation in contemporary design.
Bringing together key examples of the re-issuing, re-imagining and
re-making of design icons, the book draws on observations from
designers, artists and manufacturers in order to understand the
varied motivations behind these activities. It places the works
within their historical and cultural context, and considers the
boundaries between art and design. Further, the book interrogates
the issues of authenticity and authorship and the ethical and legal
rights to copy and to alter iconic objects that are raised by these
re-interpretations.
