Queen Anne Chair - Robert Venturi

This chair was designed to showcase "feminized elegance of the early eighteenth century to create a chair that looks forward just as much as it dares to look back"

"To Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's famous maxim 'less is more', he retorted 'less is a bore'


"The Quuen Anne chair is far from being a pastiche, however: it is an example of how designers can draw inspiration from anywhere and any time and still make work that is forward-looking and meaningful"
