new chairs by mel byars
new chairs offers more then 70 examples of contemporary chair design from top designers worldwide. designers such as tom dixon, the campana brothers, frank gehry, and massimo vignelli sit side-by-side with up-and-comers who are contributing fresh and edgy designs to the field. chairs of new and reprocessed materials, chairs that knockdown or stack in imaginative ways, chairs impossible to imagine before computer-aided design, even chairs that push the concept of utility. new chairs takes you through the creative process, taking you from concept drawings, to prototypes, manufacturing details, and insights into the creative process in the designers’ own words. each chair is accompanied my color photos, making this the most complete survey to date of contemporary chair design.
