		The most basic of furniture, chairs can also be the most interesting. Their function is clear, a bad one is easy to spot just by sitting on it, and they're everywhere. Their design reflects the time they come from, and as George Nelson said in his 1953 book Chairs, "every truly original idea - every innovation in design, every new application of materials, every technical invention for furniture - seems to find its most important expression in a chair". We like them because they're useful and fun to look at, and we've assembled a collection of post-war chairs. Some of them are shown here.
