500 Chairs: Celebrating Traditional and Innovative Designs

Author(s): Lark Books

interior design

These chairs aren't made just for sitting down - they're pieces of art meant to delight the eyes, stretch the imagination and occasionally tickle the fancy! From classic forms to groundbreaking creations from modern innovators, this new entry in this series presents a dazzling collection of contemporary chairs from today's leading furniture makers. Internationally recognised furniture designer Craig Nutt has selected the breathtaking examples - by such respected names as Garry Knox Bennett (two ladder-back chairs) and Andrew Muggleton (his "Balustrade Chaise"). Judy Kensley McKie contributes a cool "Monkey Chair" in walnut and bronze and Gord Peteran's "Electric Chair" comes in tubular steel...and features a light-bulb!

Lark Books' 500 series steps into the furniture world with gallery photos of everything from the bizarre to the the purposely mundane in human seating...A reader can skim the book for amusement, but you'd miss a lot if you didn't examine the photos closely.... Selected by studio furniture maker and sculptor Craig Nutt, these 500 pieces are an amazing representation of the creativity and originality of the world's most innovative builders."--"WoodCentral.com"
