A comprehensive visual history of the modern chair, presented as a single large-format poster by the Vitra Design Museum.
Designed by Mendell & Oberer, the poster brings together 224 chairs from the Vitra Design Museum Collection, arranged chronologically from 19th-century designs through to the end of the 20th century. Each entry identifies the designer, date and manufacturer, creating an unusually dense reference work that also functions as a graphic piece in its own right.
This third revised edition culminates a Philippe Starck chair for Kartell (1998–99) a fitting endpoint for a survey tracing the development of the chair from Thonet through the radical material and manufacturing experiments of the 20th century. Spanning 1800–1999.
Produced during the formative period of the Vitra Design Museum, the poster reflects the institution's influential approach to documenting and contextualising furniture design. It is an intriguing and striking piece of design ephemera, part reference tool, part graphic object.
NOTE: Will be shipped rolled in a tube. Not framed.
