Teo Degas' Books & Decks

Chairs are one of the most useful beautiful "sexiful" things in the world. Yes, they turn me on. I love this book. So many reasons, but I am going to be brief (please, applaud):

> Perfect book to have on your coffee-table.
> Decent short texts, right to the point but informative.
> Great visual guide of chair design.
> Good quality edition.
> Good quality full-colour photos.
> Taschen's guarantee of serious but fun books.
> Great format. Easy to put away or in different places, coffer table, besidr table, small corner out there. 
> Explanations in three languages: English, French and German. Great to improve your vocabulary in your non-native languages if you are interested or give as a gift to an overseas friend.
> Hardcopy book for less than 20 bucks. Are you serious?!
> Chairtastic fully orgasmic.
DOWNSIDES?
Yes, surrre.
= If you are looking for a guide with plenty of  explanations, a professional approach to chair design and more details about the designers and the history of each item, or clear design periods  go elsewhere.
= The book starts from the 19th century, so if you love, say, Roman Empire chairs, this is not for you.
= The books is does limit itself to the 20th century so no designs from year 2000. Pity. I miss the awesome chairs of contemporary designers British Grazier-Jones and Spaniard Maximo Riera among others.
