简介

乍看之下，威尔士柯基犬与阿尔内·雅各布森的 Grand Prix 椅似乎没什么共同之处。但若换一个富有创意的视角，比如插画师 Cristina Amodeo 的眼睛，就能从椅背的 Y 形结构中看到狗狗竖起的耳朵和长长的鼻子，甚至它歪着脑袋的俏皮模样。本书是一本充满奇思妙想的视觉双关语画册，作者为近二十五组狗狗和设计师名椅寻找共同点——斯塔克的 Pratfall 椅与猎狐梗，Eames 的某种设计则与 Billy 椅子对应。谁也不知道设计师们是否真的从狗狗身上获得了灵感，但当狗和椅子以如此优雅的方式配对时，谁又在乎呢？

What does Alvar Aalto's 1 Paimio have in common with a Doberman Pinscher, Le Corbusier's LC4 with a Spanish Greyhound, or Philippe Starck's Costes Chair with a Fox Terrier? Not a lot, you may think. But look again and you might notice shared traits in form, colour, personality, stature and style. Author and illustrator Cristina Amodeo draws parallels between nearly twenty-five dogs and designer chairs in this fun and stylish book that matches iconic chairs with their corresponding breed of dog. Who knows if Arne Jacobsen had a Welsh Corgi in mind when he designed his Grand Prix Chair? Or whether a Scottish Deerhound ever entered Ron Arad's head while designing his Victoria and Albert Sofa? Who cares, when dogs and chairs make such elegant designer pairs.
