A volume that combines photography, design, and biography in a fascinating exploration of contemporary creativity. Fifty world-renowned designers appear in their most intimate settings, seated on sofas they chose or created, revealing the motivations behind each aesthetic decision. Through authentic portraits and detailed interviews, a complete profile of each creator emerges: their design process, personal influences, professional challenges, and lifestyle. The photographs capture significant moments, often with family, pets, and objects that tell stories of personality and taste. A specialized appendix presents one hundred 20th-century seating masterpieces, from modernist masters like Le Corbusier and Charlotte Perriand to contemporary visionaries like Zaha Hadid. This work transforms the sofa into a key to understanding the most influential minds in global design.
