Seen it all?

Soho, where else?
"A Taxonomy of Office Chairs is an exhaustive visual history of a single design typology. The book exemplifies author Jonathan Olivares’ desire to catalog the entire development of the industrially produced chair for the office – a hugely technically and culturally complex object. . . .he has selected 184 of the most innovative office chairs from thousands . . . Only chairs that have introduced at least one innovation have been included. Visit the Phaidon website."
