Histoire du Design vue par les chaises

FROM THONET TO LINKA

Famous architect Ludwig Mies Von Der Rohe is known for the mantra “Less is more”. But he also said : “Designing a skyscraper is fairly easy, a chair is much more complicated.”
A new design does not come from nowhere. As designing a chair is considered the ultimate exercise, we can run along the history of design by studying the chairs that mark the history.
Here is a story in 36 episodes, from Thonet N°14 in 1859 to Linka in 2021.
