What is 50 chairs: Innovations in design and materials (Prodesign series) about?

Through detailed production photographs and with few words, 50 Chairs reflects the recent shift in design analysis from a primary focus on aesthetics to a study of the use of new technology and advanced materials. In 50 Chairs, you will find highly diversified examples of the work of 56 designers who are active worldwide - in Australia, Belgium, Brazil, the U.S.A., France, Great Britain, Holland, Italy, Japan, Scandinavia, and Spain. Their production includes one-of-a-kind seating, limited production of a handful to a few hundred examples, those of over a hundred thousand, and even an automobile seat that has reached 700,000. Through seating drawn from the last two decades, 50 Chairs reveals the results of some of the most imaginative minds at work in the design world today. There are chairs made directly into finished products without the use of preliminary drawings while others are the result of years of experimentation, development, and the expenditure of large sums of money.
