Artist and curator Andreas Angelidakis pays homage to Ionesco at Swiss Institute with \u003ci\u003eFin de Siècle\u003c\/i\u003e, a fantastical and idiosyncratic narrative of design after modernism. Inspired by Ionesco's play, Angelidakis reanimates a number of important chairs from design history and popular culture, casting them in dramatic roles. As a document of Swiss Institute's inaugural Architecture and Design show, this volume includes a conversation on late-modernist design between Angelidakis and Beatrice Galilee, Associate Curator of Architecture and Design at the Met; a dialogue on AirBnB's approach to space with Alessandro Bava, Aaron Taylor Harvey, Sean Monahan and Rachael Yu; an essay and specially created artist's book by Angelidakis; and a glossary of the chairs selected for the exhibition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Karen Marta\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0999505904\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780999505908\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Swiss Institute\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/26\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.30w x 0.80d","brand":"Karen Marta","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48441679413503,"sku":"9780999505908","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_66e920cd-0898-4de9-930e-08de70dd3543.jpg?v=1777192247","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fin-de-sizucle-karen-marta-9780999505908","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
