几位来自不同学科的作者汇聚一堂，通过101把精选的椅子来探讨椅子设计的历史

每一把椅子都在讲述它自己的故事，而所有的故事都适合这本书。椅子与人工智能；弗洛伊德、佩索阿或普鲁斯特坐过的著名椅子；作为历史、政治和社会象征的椅子；为瘦人或肥胖的人设计的椅子；摇晃的、有创意的、皇家的椅子：所有这些关于椅子的方面以及更多的内容都被装进了这本书里。

《椅子百科》汇集了作家、设计史家、建筑评论家和艺术策展人，是一本关于椅子的轶事汇编--从Andreu World出版的Mauricio Wiesenthal的《Tales to Read Seated》开始——通过101件代表作品讲述了椅子的设计史。

Interdisciplinary authors come together to reflect on the history of chair design through 101 selected chairs

Every chair tells its own story, and all of them fit into this book―even the stories in which design is not overtly the topic at hand. Chairs and artificial intelligence; famous chairs on which Freud, Pessoa or Proust sat; chairs as historical, political and societal symbols; chairs for thin or corpulent people; rocking, creative, royal chairs: all these facets of chairs and more are packed into this volume.

Bringing together writers, design historians, architecture critics and art curators, Chairpedia is a compilation of anecdotes about the chair―beginning with Mauricio Wiesenthal’s Tales to Read Seated, published by Andreu World―and comprises a history of chair design told through 101 examples.
