Everything around us is designed and the word 'design' has become part of our everyday experience. But how much do we know about it?

From Thonet's 1870 Side Chair to Konstantin Grcic's Chair_One, each entry offers a short appraisal to explore what has made their iconic status and the designers that give them a special place in design history.
