En 2016, paraissait 10 CHAISES, de Dominique Ehrhard. Ce livre mettait en scène et en volume 10 chaises iconiques du XIXᵉ et du XXᵉ siècle. Véritable exploit de création en animation papier, il a su, au cours des années, trouver son public de curieux et de passionnés et a reçu en 2017 le Grand Prix du jury "La Nuit du livre".Dans le même format et la même présentation, ce nouveau volume propose de découvrir de nouvelles chaises iconiques du XXᵉ et XXIᵉ siècle : Sitzmaschine, Joseph Hoffmann, 1905 / Chaises et table pour jeu d'échec, Alexander Rodtchenko, 1925 / Fauteuil Barcelona, Lilly Rich & Mies van der Rohe, 1929 Chaise Wishbone CH-24, Hans Wegner, 1949 / Chaise Fourmi, Arne Jacobsen, 1952 / Chaises Capitello Ionico et Sole, Piero Fornasetti, 1955 / Heart Cone Chair, Werner Panton, 1958 / Chaise longue Arc, Pascal Mourgue, 1938 / Chaise N°543 - Broadway, Gaetano Pesce, 1992 / Chaise Vegetal, Erwen & Ronan Bouroullec, 2008.
10 chaises, de Dominique Ehrhard, passionné de design, est à l'évidence un objet raffiné, en tous points concentré sur son sujet, la présentation de dix pièces majeures du design. Quoique simple, n'appelant pas de manipulation, les mécanismes étonnent par les formes complexes qu'ils restituent au volume en les faisant sortir du pliage, suscitent l'admiration par leur parfait déploiement, y compris pour des objets qui réclament une grande exactitude comme le fauteuil LC2. Ce faisant, l'illusion est saisissante. Nous sommes très proches des reproductions du Vitra Design Museum. Il y a donc un effet collection et un plaisir de l'amateur à approcher des pièces remarquables avec une qualité de reproduction produisant son effet. Mais ce titre interroge également la notion même d'objet, faisant de la sorte jaillir d'une forme close des pièces de design en volume, si abouties et visuellement agréables. Et si livresques, car le livre sait aussi se rappeler au lecteur, par son papier chaleureux ou la qualité de son impression. Dès lors, il peut tout aussi bien être conservé, fermé, que laissé ouvert sur une étagère, comme un écrin présentant une pièce rare.
Avec ce livre, pour une somme très modique et dans un tout petit volume, vous aurez enfin chez vous : la berceuse n° 10 de Michael Thonet, la Chaise haute de Charles Rennie Mackintosh, le fauteuil LC2 de Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret et Charlotte Perriand, et bien d'autres encore... Un véritable musée de poche ! Des modèles de papier miniaturisés, des mécanismes ingénieux d'une précision renversante font de ce livre une véritable prouesse technique, un livre animé raffiné et élégant à l'image des oeuvres qu'il contient. À la fin de l'ouvrage, une biographie de chacun des créateurs.

Hal Urban's latest book poses a challenge. It challenges us to break through the notion of religious barriers to embrace faith in any form. And within that faith, it asks us to honour the teachings of wisdom and character, and encourages us to put those teachings into practice. We all know the 10 Commandments. Most of us have no problem avoiding murder, theft or adultery. We don't need to recommit ourselves to following these commandments and we do continue to honour them. They're sacred. The 10 Commandments of Common Sense looks more closely at some of the Bible's other "commandments": five things we should devote ourselves to doing because they can enrich our lives and the lives of others. Many of them are far more challenging than the original ten, but they provide wise and practical advice for all of us, no matter what we believe.
