Description

On the Edge of Your Seat: Chairs for the 21st Century, the catalog for the 2016 exhibition at The Center for Art in Wood, considers new designs in chairs, benches, and stools for the 21st century. This volume includes the sculptural, conceptual, functional (and the occasional dysfunctional) seating, reflecting the dramatic evolution from the storied history of chairmaking in Philadelphia. Includes essays by Roy Superior, Richard R. Goldberg, Steffanie Dotson, Albert LeCoff with Tina C. LeCoff, and Joshua Lane.
