Your Next Chair? Brutus Casa

From the collection of MM Tremonto, Paris.

Casa BRUTUS: Your Next Chair? is a special 2003 issue of the influential Japanese design and architecture magazine devoted entirely to the chair—one of modern design’s most enduring and experimental forms.

Framed around the question of what comes after established icons by designers such as Charles and Ray Eames and Jean Prouvé, the issue surveys classic and contemporary seating, bringing together important designers, manufacturers, and emerging ideas in furniture design. Characteristically dense with photography, graphics, product references, and Japanese editorial design, it offers both a guide to collecting chairs and a snapshot of international design culture at the beginning of the 2000s.
