They are a congregation of creatures often eluding their primary purpose as seating. Metaphorically exaggerated height and disassociation transform the chairs into individuals, or sculptures exploring the uncertain boundaries of physics. The book's generous layout allows readers to immerse themselves in this cabinet of curiosities and give their imagination free rein. Nicolas Polli and Jean Vincent Simonet use their photographic essays to interpret the exhibits originating from well-known artists and designers. The texts illustrate the collection in terms of the friction between art and design. They explain the collection's significance in the life of the collector, and they discuss the general motives that lead to a passion for collecting"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Barbier-Mueller, Thierry $x Art collections. 650 0 $a Chairs $x Private collections $z Geneva. $z Geneva. 650 7 $a Chairs $x Private collections $2 fast 651 7 $a Switzerland $z Geneva $2 fast 655 7 $a Catalogs. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Barbier-Mueller, Marie, $e editor. 700 1 $a Barbier-Mueller, Thierry, $e contributor. 700 1 $a Coen, Lorette, $d 1943- $e contributor. 700 1 $a Prod'Hom, Chantal, $e contributor. 700 1 $a Savolainen-Mailler, Charlotte, $e contributor. 700 1 $a Webster, Jamieson, $e contributor. 700 1 $a Wilson, Robert, $d 1941- $e contributor. 700 1 $a Polli, Nicolas, $e photographer (expression) 700 1 $a Simonet, Jean-Vincent, $d 1991- $e photographer (expression) 775 08 $i Also issued as: $t L'esprit de la chaise : la collection de chaises de Thierry Barbier-Mueller. $d ZuÂrich : Lars MuÂller Publishers, [2022] $z 9783037787113 $w (OCoLC)1369634489 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240517012614.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E1AD1F3A141211EF8F56A7732FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
