Summary:

"Clement Meadmore brings together more than thirty 'classic' modern chairs which are still in production, describing each in detail with the aid of photographs and his own explanatory drawings and some original designers' drawings, and examines the ways in which the designers approached and solved the functional and aesthetic problems involved in the design of each chair. The plans and elevations of the chairs are shown at a constant scale of one eighth full size, so that the dimensions can be easily ascertained and visual comparisons of size and proportion made"--Back cover.
