Τον τελευταίο αιώνα, ορισμένα έπιπλα έχουν ξεπεράσει τους απλούς λειτουργικούς τους ρόλους, ενσωματώνοντας τον εαυτό τους στον πολιτιστικό ιστό και καθορίζοντας την εποχή στην οποία δημιουργήθηκαν. Αυτά τα κομμάτια όχι μόνο αντικατοπτρίζουν τα καλλιτεχνικά ρεύματα και τις κοινωνικές αλλαγές της εποχής τους, αλλά και συνεχίζουν να επηρεάζουν το σύγχρονο design. Ας δούμε μερικά από τα πιο καθοριστικά έπιπλα των τελευταίων 100 ετών, το καθένα ένα κεφάλαιο στην ιστορία του μοντέρνου σχεδιασμού όπως τα συγκέντρωσαν οι New York Times

8. Unknown, Monobloc Chair, 20th Century
Leí un articulo de T Magazine en el que hablan sobre los muebles más influyentes de los últimos 100 años e incluyen esta silla, a la que se refieren como "Monobloc Chair". Para mi, siempre será una silla Pycca. Cuando la veo, pienso en comer a la vera de la carretera en un viaje… pic.twitter.com/pmFMi5mdDG

With a squiggly frame that turns from a cool white into an illuminated pink once switched on, the mirror is an icon of postmodern design. pic.twitter.com/2CjsFRG3h6
