Ana Dominguez-Siemens

This book compiles the work of more than 20 professionals, including designers, professors, architects and historians, who are participating in this fascinating volume telling the story of 101 chairs. Ana Domínguez Siemens, Mauricio Wiesenthal, Rosina Gómez-Baeza, Isabel Campi and Daniel Giralt-Miracle survey the history of the most famous chairs, from the most avant-garde to the humblest designs. Each chair has its own story, and they all have a place here, even those whose design is not the most important feature. It is a compendium of anecdotes and stories around chairs to spotlight the fact that they are essential objects, among other reasons because, as Alessandro Mendini claims, “while the chair works, the man rests.

Luis Bustamante has a refined and very sophisticated style, and has been working for over thirty years. This book shows his latest projects from the last five years, in places such as London, Miami, Madrid, Aspen, Cantabria, Marbella, Mexico City, Barcelona, The Hamptons and St Moritz, among others. His passion for art has developed a style that fits perfectly with art collectors around the world. Luis Bustamante's fundamental concern has always been to generate relationships. Not only are the spaces he designs intended to achieve this but he himself aspires to it with his clients. Bustamante understands design in the best posible way: as an extraordinary living art. Luis Bustamante was trained and exhibited as a painter and a sculptor during the 1980s before finding his ideal medium in interior design. In 1991 he began his career as an interior designer in Barcelona where he lived for eight years. He later moved to Mexico for five years where his career continued. In Mexico Luis consolidated his position as an important interior designer. In 2000 he established himself in Madrid, and created his decorating and interior design studio along with a team of respected professionals. Nowadays the studio serves as a hub for work on both national and international projects, in places such as New York, Miami, Mexico, London, Gstaad and the Dominican Republic.
