Gilberto Freyre Knihy
Gilberto Freyre bol brazílsky sociológ a antropológ, ktorý skúmal zložité sociálne a kultúrne dejiny Brazílie. Jeho dielo sa sústredilo na formovanie brazílskej spoločnosti, najmä na interakcie medzi rôznymi etnickými a sociálnymi skupinami. Freyre analyzoval, ako sa tieto interakcie prejavovali v rodinných štruktúrach, sociálnych zvyklostiach a v samotnej brazílskej identite. Jeho prístup bol priekopnícky vo svojom zameraní na kultúrnu antropológiu a sociálnu históriu.

From the 1850 Thonet bentwood rocker to Uli Witzig's 1990 Liberty desk chair, The Modern Chair is an indispensible reference for anyone who cares about furniture design. Each chair-be it Breuer's cane-seated Cesca (1928) or Philippe Starck's Miss Wirt stool (1980)-gets a page with a detailed line drawing, and, in the appendix, a sketch with dimensions. True to the Swiss origin of author Gilbert Frey, the book is simple and straightforward, with information clearly presented. Also included are short biographies of each designer and furniture-builder featured. In English, French and German. Frey was a professor of interior architecture at the School of Decorative Arts in Geneva.
