Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1. English Chairman: Rolf Fehlbaum is a highly visual, unconventional and humorous portrait of Rolf Fehlbaum, the Swiss design entrepreneur who transformed Vitra into one of the world's most influential manufacturers of modern furniture. Conceived by the celebrated graphic designer Tibor Kalman and his design studio M&Co, the book combines biography, design history, photography, archival material and visual storytelling. It traces the development of the chair from a basic object for sitting to an icon of modern design, while simultaneously recounting the history of Fehlbaum, his family and Vitra. The book brings together an extraordinary range of designers, architects and artists associated with twentieth-century design and Vitra, including Charles and Ray Eames, George Nelson, Verner Panton, Frank Gehry, Tadao Ando, Álvaro Siza, Zaha Hadid, Philippe Starck, Jasper Morrison and Antonio Citterio. Published in 1997 by Lars Müller Publishers and the German Design Council, it accompanied the Federal Award for Design Leadership presented to Fehlbaum that year. With hundreds of photographs and illustrations arranged in Kalman's distinctive graphic language, Chairman functions simultaneously as a biography, visual essay, history of chair design and portrait of Vitra's design culture. An important and highly distinctive publication for collectors of Vitra, furniture design, architecture, graphic design and the work of Tibor Kalman.…
