1000 Chairs (Spanish Edition) pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載2025

The ubiquitous chair in all its shapes and forms (TASCHEN's 25th anniversary special edition)

More than any other piece of furniture, the chair has been subjected to the wildest dreams of the designers. The particular curve of a back-rest, or the twist of a leg, the angle of a seat or the colour of the entire artefact all reflect the stylistic consciousness of each era.

From Gerrit Rietveld and Alvar Aalto via Verner Panton to Eva Zeisel; from Art Nouveau to International Style, from Pop Art to Postmodernism, the phenomenon of the chair is so complex that it requires a reference work as comprehensive as this to do it full justice. They are all here: Thonet's bentwood chairs and Hoffmann's sitting-machines, Marcel Breuer's Wassily chair and Ron Arad's avant garde armchairs.

The book, a slightly abbreviated version of our classic title 1000 Chairs, devotes one page to each chair, displayed on its own as pure form, with biographical and historical information about the chairs and their designers. A special treat for anyone who loves design and a must for collectors!

The authors: Charlotte J. and Peter Fiell run a design consultancy in London specializing in the sale, acquisition, study and promotion of design artifacts. They have lectured widely, curated a number of exhibitions and written numerous articles and books on design and designers, including TASCHEN's Charles Rennie Mackintosh, William Morris, Design of the 20th Century, and Industrial Design A-Z. They also edited the six-volume Decorative Arts series published by TASCHEN.

Reviews:

"Pour son 25e anniversaire, la maison d’édition allemande TASCHEN réédite – à un prix toujours aussi attractif – notre outil de travail préféré : la bible des chaises créées par les plus célèbres designers du monde entier, du premier mobilier d’art, en 1808, jusqu’au dernières innovations des années 90. Car la chaise, ce mobilier qui n’a de cesse d’interpeller et d’inspirer, a toujours suivi de près l’évolution de l’architecture et des technologies. Chacun de ces petits bijoux offert à notre convoitise est la résultante aboutie de l’étude et de l’attention particulières qui lui ont consacrées leurs auteurs. "
