Description: CHAIRMAN ROLF FEHLBAUM by Tibor Kalman This is a crazy cool book! It came from the wildly inventive mind of Tibor Kalman and his design team at M&Co in NYC, NY. The fun starts with the title - a clever play on words. Fehlbaum is the Chairman / head of a furniture production company called Vitra. But he is also a man who has researched the history of chairs, collected chairs from all around the world and is generally obsessed with chairs ... and architecture and travel and culture and offices and movies and so much more! The distinctive format of this book is so appealing and the contents do not disappoint! It is chock-a-block with fascinating photos, including many film stills. Happily, all photos are credited at the end of the book. Fehlbaum's parents were the first business people to produce and distribute (outside the USA) the innovative chairs designed by Charles and Ray Eames in the 1950s. When Rolf took over the company, he expanded it by working with other designers to create even more types of furniture - but always amazing chairs, lots of chairs!!!
