Architecture, Art & Design

There is no more 'human'-like furniture than a table; people sit around a table to eat, to talk, to work, to learn, to play and to exchange information. The tables and desks featured in the book - for residential houses, offices, public and commercial buildings, hospitals and schools illustrate the history, design diversity and ease of use. Contents: History, Culture and Design and Tables; Origin and Evolution of Tables; Tables in Paintings and Movies; Table Design Notes; Tables and Ergonomics; Materials and Finishes of Tables. Text in English and Japanese.
