Product Description

Sequel to the acclaimed "A New Book on the Dismantling of Masterpiece Chairs" (published in 2020), this book delves deeper into the intricate processes involved in the disassembly, assembly, and seat reupholstering of iconic chairs. These "masterpiece chairs" include renowned designs such as the Red and Blue Chair and Thonet No. 14, as well as creations by famous designers like Finn Juhl and Eames. The book is richly illustrated with photographs that guide readers through various stages of chair restoration, including disassembly, reassembly, and fabric (leather) upholstery removal, depending on the specific chair.

In addition to the practical aspects, the book explores the unique characteristics, structures, and design philosophies behind each chair. It provides insights into the techniques used, such as joining methods, strength enhancement, design optimization, and the utilization of hidden parts. The book also discusses the advantages and disadvantages of different approaches, the materials used (types of wood, metal, upholstery contents like cotton, cloth, horsehair, urethane, etc.), and the designers' philosophies that brought these chairs to life.
