Extra informatie For this site-specific work at Japan's National Art Museum in Osaka, Christian Philipp Müller tracked down 54 different types of chairs in use at the museum. He then presented them on a colorful, stair-step platform in chronological order by the date of design, and created a typology of usage. The book also includes photos of the chairs in use, product catalogs and storage conditions. A fine commentary on the current fetish of the chair as design object, and our nostalgia for these familiar shapes memorialized as high-class consumer goods. With contribitions by Christian Philipp Müller, Hiroyuki Nakanishi, Christian Witt-Döring and Bennett Simpson.
