Bibliography 9 Introduction to Chair Design Essay
We have been assigned an essay to write on either chair or lighting design. I have chosen Chair Design in which I am going to write about two designers of my choice and the history of the chair. I have chosen Philippe Starck and Ron Arad. Philippe Starck started his profession in Paris where as Ron Arad started his in Tel Aviv. Philippe Starck design rustic modern furniture where as Ron Arad design many different styles of furniture. I feel that Philippe Starck is a well thought out person who designs furniture that would stand out well in any area and Ron Arad; I feel that he is almost the same except he has his own thoughts and aspirations. I am going to start my essay with the history of the chair. History of the Chair
The Chair has been an article of state and dignity rather than an article of ordinary use for many centuries and indeed for thousands of years. It wasn’t until the 16th century that the chair became common. The number of chairs which have survived from an earlier date is extremely limited; most of such examples are of clerical or seigneurial origin. Chairs in Egypt appeared to have been of great richness and brilliance, decorated with ebony and ivory or of carved and gilded wood and then covered with expensive materials and supported upon representations of the legs
