O knihe

Have you ever asked yourself where did all those objects that surround us come from? Who created them? How did the comfortable armchairs appear, the ones we sit in while watching TV? The working chair we use in order to write on our computer? Do you know that there was a time, when people did not know what a chair was, and hardly sat on anything at all...? After long years of teaching and researching, the author of this book has found that furniture pieces undergo an evolution, much like living creatures... After its appearance, an archetype passes through different stages, changes materials, construction and technology to come to us in the shape we consider to be comfortable and reasonable. Designers today are very much like archeologists: they create their objects after having made a great discovery. It can be an ordinary ancient object, forgotten today, but important for a creative person as an inspiration and an opportunity for individual expression. This book is written for all inspired future creators to encourage research and innovation in this great profession: furniture design.
