100 Masterpieces is a complete portfolio with pictures and information on virtually all pieces of furniture designed as "chairs" since the early nineteenth century.
It embraces all "masterpieces" of any style, material and shape, presenting each one within its historical framework, and "profiling" it with really interesting details relating to the inspiration/source and the novelty of the idea behind it, the designer's intentions, the functionality, materials as well as interesting specifics on the construction itself.
Íext to each full page colour picture, the item's name, the name of the Designer, Dates (year) of design and production, Manufacturers, and information on material and size, and smaller interesting pictures illustrating the historical text, make it a higly visual guide.
100 Masterpieces is more than a comprehensive directory on the subject. Concrete and well-organized, it is an essential reference for anyone studying, practicing, or just being interested in, interior and furniture design.
