A series of videos that refer to different historical periods through 3 case studies of chair designs, their designers and the Croatian manufacturing industry. The first video deals with Bernardo Bernardi’s chair designs A4 and A15, typical examples of Scandinavian influenced modernism, originally produced for the interior of the POU Moše Pijade in Zagreb by Tvin. The second one is about the multi-purposed italian influenced plastic chair Uni 87 designed for 1987 Universiade in Zagreb by Mladen Orešić and produced by TMN Jadran. The third in a series is an isolated case of the only Croatian (after the break-up of Yugoslavia) internationally recognized furniture company Prostoria and the modernist-inspired piece Polygon designed by Numen / For Use.
