本书详细探讨了过去150年中的50多张最**的椅子是怎么构思和制造出来的——设计原理,材料选择,制造过程以及它们背后的设计师
《椅子解剖学》通过照片和插图中揭示了过去150年中制造的五十多把椅子的形状和构造细节(解剖结构)。在将椅子分解成组成部分时,这本书深入到了每件设计的核心:如何设计各个部分并将它们组合在一起; 为什么某种材料赋予某种品质、功能上的进步或舒适度; 以及椅子的结构如何承受压力,同时又能保持优雅和在生产上省钱。它还介绍了这些椅子背后的设计师,他们的背景以及设计这些椅子的方法。
A detailed exploration of how more than 50 of the most iconic chairs from the last 150 years were conceived and made – the design principles, the material selection, the manufacturing processes, and the designers and architects behind them
Chair Anatomy reveals in photos and illustrations the form and the construction details – the anatomy – of more than fifty chairs made in the last 150 years. In reducing chairs to their constituent parts, the book gets to the heart of each design: how pieces are designed and produced to fit together; why a certain material imparts a certain quality, functional advance or comfort level; and how the chair’s structure can withstand stress while being elegant and economical to produce. It also introduces the designers behind these chairs, their backgrounds and their routes to creating the chairs.
‘Exploding’ these chairs gives insight into the careful and detailed thinking that has gone into a piece of furniture that we take for granted, and offers designers and students, in a single reference source, a truly nuts-and-bolts perspective on masterpieces of design.
