500 Chairs Book

It's always thrilling to see pieces you know and love in book form. The new Lark book 500 Chairs (part of their 500 series) features not one, not two, but eight examples of furniture created by Northwest Fine Woodworking cooperative members.

Like other books in this series, this book is mostly photographs and bare bones descriptions of the chairs featured. The photos in this book are stunning however, and the diversity of design, functionality and use of materials makes for engaging viewing. You'll find everything from classically designed dining chairs to impossible to sit on modern works of art and everything in between.

This book is a must for anyone who is interested in furniture design, studio furniture, or just wants a new look at an everyday object.

You can find this book on Amazon here.
