A thousand chairs come with a thousand stories.

From decorative chairs inside a fancy café to stylish chairs transforming the ambience of a house, every chair is embedded with the life of its maker. That’s why chairs resemble people. The author uses a unique perspective and personifies twenty-six chairs—including a chair made by a famous designer and a chair belonging a small village community. The stories in this book make us take a fresh look at the chairs around us that we may not have noticed before. Following such delicate views and sensibilities, readers will be led to imagine what stories are contained in the chairs they are sitting on, or what chairs they will encounter in the future.

He received his PhD from Hongik University College of Fine Arts and has published numerous papers and works related to furniture design. While thinking about how to connect the expertise he has accumulated with the life of this era, he challenged himself to write a book that is read by the public rather than a thesis. Since April 2015, he has been contributing his talents as a bi-weekly column to CROSS in Chungju, Korea, and has also contributed to various media such as the bi-monthly educational magazine Mindeulle, Korean Air’s in-flight magazine Beyond, and the daily newspaper *Hankyoreh.
