Seats of Power - And Those Who Sit on Them | OPENING TALK (DE)

From the thrones of antiquity to modern office seating, chairs have served as symbols of power and success since ancient times. In the panel discussion marking the opening of the »Seats of Power« exhibition at the Vitra Schaudepot, Mateo Kries, director of the Vitra Design Museum talks with designer Robert Stadler and photographer Herlinde Koelbl about the cultural history of chairs as well as the aspects of authority, representation, status, and politics they reflect.
