More than any other piece of furniture, the chair has been subjected to the wildest dreams of the designer. The particular curve of a backrest, or the twist of a leg, the angle of a seat or the color of the entire artifact; each element reflects the stylistic consciousness of an era.
From Gerrit Rietveld and Alvar Aalto to Verner Panton and Eva Zeisel, from Art Nouveau to International Style, from Pop Art to Postmodernism, the history of the chair is so complex that it requires a comprehensive encyclopedic work 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. Early designers and pioneers of the modern chair are presented alongside the most recent innovations in seating.
This dedicated compendium displays each chair as pure form, along with biographical and historical information about the pieces and their designers. An illuminating tome for design aficionados and an essential reference for collectors!

- Well written, photographed and researched. Also well printed.
- Awesome little coffee table book on chairs throughout history.
- awesome content, but arrived damaged. I usually don’t care too much about minor damage like this, but I paid full price and I’m giving this to a friend as a gift. Unfortunately I don’t have time to exchange since the holidays are right around the bend. please pack books with padding next time!!
- will help with work
- Taschen books are always such eye candy, couple the Taschen name with 1000 designer chairs and you have a strong visual reference guide to over 100 years of design of chairs.
Although 1000 chairs seems like a lot you breeze through the decades and it leaves you wanting more. This book is lacking if you are an aficionado of any one era as there are more specialized books that could detail that era better but as an overall history this book hits the mark. - Love
- Exactly what I needed. Photos, photos, photos.
- This is an excellent source for people who are interested in the design, possibilities and creativity of chairs. It/s a mini encyclopedia.
