Summary:
In this book, Anne Massey provides an anatomy of the chair and looks at how we interact with others in predetermined ways when seated. As she argues, the chair can communicate the authority of the owner, the sitter, and even the creator. Massey explores how, particularly in the last one hundred years, the chair has become a revered object of design. Chairs, such as the Eames Lounge chair, Verner Panton’s S Chair, the Aeron office chair have been photographed, exhibited in art museums, and slavishly copied in knock-off cheaper models. Other chairs have reached iconic status simply through their everydayness : think of Van Gogh’s chair, or the way Shaker chairs have become emblematic of a simpler and purer lifestyle. Massey further examines how chairs have been crafted, constructed from materials in plentiful supply locally, to their global manufacture. In doing so she elucidates the meaning of the chair in contemporary culture, as well as the development of the designer’s and manufacturer’s relationship with this pivotal object.

Summary:
"1968: Radical Italian Design", the newest project from Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari's Toilet Paper in collaboration with the Deste Foundation in Athens, offers an unorthodox, kaleidoscopic walk through the Dakis Joannou collection of Italian Radical Design furniture. Led by avant-garde design firms such as Archizoom, Superstudio, Global Tools and 9999, Radical Design was firmly opposed to the ethics, and indeed the very notion of, "good design" or taste. Toilet Paper's bold, mischievous interpretation of Joannou's collection results in delightful, high-contrast photographs that merge the seductive lines of Radical Design furniture and objects with the curves of the modern-day nymphs cavorting among them. Published as a board book, and named after a year that was pivotal for architecture and design (and, of course, the world at large), "1968" is a collection of dreams and nightmares, an inspiring, eye-popping compendium of colorful, ironic objects and bodies. At once charmingly retro and alarmingly surreal, 1968 includes drawings by one of the Radical Design movement's foremost architects, Alessandro Mendini.
