A comprehensive design resource that reveals how the iconic chairs
of the 20th and 21st centuries have been designed for mass
production. Chair Anatomy reveals in photos and illustrations the
form and the construction details – the anatomy – of a
selection of nearly sixty chairs chosen from the last 160 years of
modern chair design. It also introduces the designers behind these
chairs, their backgrounds and their routes to creating the chairs.
In reducing chairs to their constituent parts, the book gets to the
heart of each design: how pieces are designed and produced to fit
together; why a certain material imparts a certain quality;
functional advance or comfort level; and how the chair’s
structure can withstand stress while being elegant and economical
to produce. In short, a chair is architecture in miniature. This
revised and expanded edition features five new chairs, including
the Hemp Chair by Werner Aisslinger (2011), Bruto by Konrad
Lohöfener (2018) and Chubby by Dirk van der Kooij (2012). Each
represents new technological, constructional and aesthetic
solutions.
