Over dit e-boek
""Chair Sitting Culture"" explores the rich history of chairs, revealing how these seemingly simple objects reflect and shape our societies. The book uncovers intriguing facts, such as how chairs were once symbols of power reserved for elites, and how ergonomic design has evolved to meet the human body's needs for comfort and productivity. By examining seating furniture through the lenses of ergonomic adaptation and social signification, the book demonstrates how design influences not only our physical well-being but also our social interactions and hierarchies. This study uniquely integrates design history with social and ergonomic analysis, challenging the perception of chairs as mere functional items. Drawing upon historical records, archaeological findings, and design theory, the book presents a multidisciplinary approach to understanding chair sitting culture. It progresses through an introduction to ergonomic design and social symbolism, a chronological examination of chair design across various cultures, and a synthesis offering insights into the future of seating. The book's value lies in its comprehensive and insightful analysis, making it a valuable resource for students, scholars, designers, and anyone interested in the cultural significance of everyday objects. It emphasizes the social and cultural dimensions of seating furniture, contributing to a deeper understanding of how material objects shape our lives by exploring the evolution and social symbolism of chair design across different historical periods and cultures.
