Description

It's not often that a chair has a whole book devoted to it. But then again not too many chairs have made the impact this one has. The epitome of Modernist style and luxurious comfort, Charles and Ray Eamess leather-upholstered rosewood-veneered chair and matching ottoman, launched in 1956, is a design classic of the twentieth century. This book, celebrating the Lounge Chairs 50th anniversary, explores the design in detail and places it in its cultural, historical and social contexts, offering fresh insights into this revered icon and its equally revered creators. Featuring over 200 illustrations, including previously unpublished drawings and personal correspondence, advertisements, film stills, diagrams and specially commissioned photographs, this is sure to appeal to anyone interested in modern design.
