About
"Engaged in fascinating and useful multidisciplinary research, Cranz is an avatar for body-friendly design. . . . Read [ The Chair ] and cheer."--Elizabeth Zimmer, Village Voice Perhaps no other object of our daily environment has had the enduring cultural significance of the ever-present chair, unconsciously yet forcefully shaping the physical and social dimensions of our lives. With over ninety illustrations, this book traces the history of the chair as we know it from its crudest beginnings up through the modern office variety. Drawing on anecdotes, literary references, and famous designs, Galen Cranz documents our ongoing love affair with the chair and how its evolution has been governed not by a quest for comfort or practicality, but by the designation of status.Relating

…discussing new sketch comedy show with unexpected moments
“But now we've been watching, mostly because of this focus group, his latest show, which is The Chair Company. Yeah. Which there was a not safe for work moment in that show. I mean, the whole genius of the show is that it takes you very quickly to places that you are not prepared for.”
