A fun and playful approach to chairs, armchairs and seating from the 20th and 21st centuries. Whether for work, relaxation, group meetings, or solitary moments, places to sit have always been a favorite subject of designers, artists, and furniture editors.

From the milking stool to the rocking chair, this book multiplies anecdotes and carefully chosen examples and draws on the work of designers who have tackled this issue: from Corbusier to Charlotte Perriand to Arne Jacobsen to Eames.

Perfect for the curious young or old, chairs will no longer hold any secrets for the reader!
