Has our meaning of sitting been colonised by Modern design? And how is the diverse, social-cultural act of sitting itself reflected in this functional commodity?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn observing and analysing social and cultural differences through chairs from eight cultures in the most populated countries, Sicilian designer Matteo Guarnaccia went on a field research to portray each country, in collaboration with selected local design studios, to situate each cultural context into the form of a chair. This project diversifies the supposedly mundane parts of chair-culture and chair design, to open the conversation of identity, community and a reality divided into a global and local conglomerate expression through chairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduction by FormaFantasma and Aldo Cibic followed by contributed texts by Tulio Amarante, Ana Elena Mallet, Hisashi Ikai, Ayos Purwoaji, Shell Xu, Spandana Gopal, Alexandra Sankova and Wale Lawal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eType: softcover\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 170 x 240 mm \/ 6.69 x 9.44\u003cbr\u003ePages: 388\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-90-833501-0-3\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Swiss bound\u003cbr\u003ePaper: Munken Print White 300 g.
