Description: Chair Anatomy : Design and Construction, Paperback by Orrom, James, ISBN 0500297029, ISBN-13 9780500297025, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Chairs are one of the most integral design pieces to everyday life: from office chairs to dining tables, from lounging to working, the importanceof good chair design is central to our well-being. Accordingly, designers and architects seeking solutions to space, comfort, and function, have grappled with making the perfect—or most unusual—chairs for centuries. But since consumers only see the end result, we rarely think about why each design is AnatomyNew to this edition is the inclusion of four new chairs with technical and constructional originality, from chairs made from recyclable plastics and sustainable hemp-fibers to designs based on the principle of a clothes-peg. In reducing chairs to their constituent parts, th gets to the heart of each design: how pieces are designed and produced to fit together; why a particular 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. In short, a chair is architecture in miniature.
