This April, Sotheby’s auction Take A Seat showcases the extraordinary creative breadth that has gone into the design and making of good chairs over the course of three centuries, including as it does elegant eighteenth century giltwood fauteuils, various carved African stools and seats, an interesting assortment of nineteenth century Neo-classical armchairs and even a simple yet beautifully crafted Provençal Style corner-chair from the early twentieth century. It also features iconic chairs by Jean-Michel Frank, Alexandre Noll, Claude Lalanne or Tom Dixon.
