On the Edge of Your Seat: Chairs for the 21st Century (Hardcover)

Over 200 photos plus insightful essays from a variety of
perspectives celebrate the chair-the centerpiece of furniture arts
over the course of American furniture making-in this inspiring
showcase of 45 works from 39 artists. These chairs, benches, and
stools are sculptural, conceptual, functional (and occasionally
dysfunctional) seating, reflecting the dramatic latest evolution
since the storied history of chairmaking in Philadelphia.
Statements by each of the artists offer their sources of
inspiration and creativity. The chairs, set against the backdrop of
the world's mass-production and petroleum-based materials, stand as
a beacon to the vitality and critical importance of independent
artisans and designers in raising the bar of excellence in the
built world. A one-of-a-kind history of Philadelphia chair design,
with full-page images of 40 historic chairs, is also featured.
Compiled by Joshua Lane, the Lois F. and Henry S. McNeil Curator of
Furniture, Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library, it details
their evolution and makers, and their significance in furniture
history.
