A Century of Chairs
URL: http://designmuseum.org/exhibitions/online/a-century-of-chairs

Description:
This site "shows how the design of the chair has evolved from Michael Thonet's invention of mass-manufactured furniture in the late 1800s and the early Modern Movement chairs of the early 1900s to the technologically advanced chairs of today." Browse annotated images by decades starting with the late 1800s to see chairs designed by Josef Hoffmann, Marcel Breuer, Gerrit Thomas Rietveld, Charles and Ray Eames, Philippe Starck, and others. From the Design Museum, London.
