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\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoftcover, 388 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 9.44 L x 6.69 W in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eISBN: 978-90-833501-0-3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DAP Art Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43536483909838,"sku":"9789083350103","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0580\/8629\/3710\/files\/cross-culture-chairs-cover.jpg?v=1779479129","url":"https:\/\/littleking.online\/products\/cross-cultural-chairs-8-chairs-from-8-countries","provider":"Little King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
