Since the publication of his influential 1966 essay Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture, American architect Robert Venturi has been considered one of the founders of Postmodernism. Venturi’s most famous furniture design consists of a series of nine chairs, which he designed for Knoll International between 1979 and 1984. By means of clichéd simplification, his chairs cite models from United States’ and European furniture history, ranging from the eighteenth century Queen Anne style to Art Deco of the thirties. Venturi was interested in the image, the representative side, of these models. Thus, his two-piece structure for Queen Anne is based on sawed-out and bent laminated wood panels for the back, legs, and seat which present the chair as a silhouette copy, a backdrop.
