Résumé:
True beauty lies in the design and process that leads matter to become a work of art. Before the final gesture that at last makes it a “work”, its beauty is contained in the invisible layers of thought and enthusiasm that lie beneath the surface of the finished object – from choice of materials to precision of execution.

Résumé:
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.
