“That book was my husbands.”
(Me) “Mmmm. Do you
have nice chairs?”
“No. We had children instead.”
Taschen do great books.
They are glossy, colourful, informative, entertaining and very appealing. They can also be very expensive although the
smaller volumes, such as this one, are often more reasonably priced. The larger volumes can be spectacular (appearance,
content and price) and give a whole new meaning to the words “coffee table
book”. I’ve seen Taschen Books that
wouldn’t even fit on my coffee table and if they did I don’t know that the
coffee table would hold up under the weight.
This volume is a more reasonably weighted item and should appeal
to those that are reference hungry and to those wanting a coffee table design
book. The photographs are of the usual
Taschen quality (excellent) and whilst the descriptions are brief, they get to
the point… and they get to the point in English, German and French. Perfect for bilingual homes wanting books (and chairs)
that everyone can enjoy.
I like nice chairs and I like looking at nice chairs. One day, I may even sit in a nice chair.
