CHAIRS

BASIC PIECE OF FURNITURE

 

One of the essential pieces of furniture is chair. Usually, when we enter the new space to spend some time, we look around to spot nearest seating place. It is what people have been doing since antiquity. However, chairs in their current form became common in the 16th century.

When we think about the history of the design, chairs are the best reflection of the times. Every epoque can be recognized by a few iconic pieces of furniture.

„Every truly original idea – every innovation in design, every new application of materials, every technical invention for furniture – seems to find its most important expression in a chair”

~George Nelson, the famous designer, author of an iconic Coconut chair.
