Chairs are a staple of the human experience—a core symbol of how our species has evolved, grown, and matured. From the earliest hand-built models to modern, fully-equipped recliners, humans' relationship with chairs shows not only our ingenuity but also our appreciation of comfort and style. Throughout history, chairs have served many purposes. Primitive chairs were built to protect users from the cold, they were used in religious ceremonies, and they were signifiers of important ranks and statuses. Over the centuries, the chair evolved from being a purely utilitarian object to a form of art. Today, chairs can embody a wide range of design sensibilities from bold, modern statement pieces to traditional, classic upholstered beauties. Chairs have also become intimately connected to our daily lives. We rely on chairs in our daily routines, from getting ready for work in the morning to winding down for the night with a cozy armchair. Indeed, chairs tell stories about us – from the vibrant colors that reflect our personalities to the comfortability we come to expect with each seat. The same way that chairs of the past have rendered the evolution of humanity, the chairs of our day are emblematic of the rich histories of the individuals that own them.
