Paperback. The sequel to The Spirit of Chairs reconfigures Thierry Barbier-Mueller\'s collection through a symphony of light, sound and staging by Robert Wilson. Conceived as an opera in four acts, the exhibition documented in this book brings to life the chair collection of Swiss entrepreneur Thierry Barbier-Mueller (19602023). Through the scenography of the renowned American director Robert Wilson (19412025), a succession of evocative atmospheres articulates the sculptural, singular presence of each piece. A Chair and You recounts the mise-en-scene of the exhibition. Image sequences convey its dramaturgy while original texts shed light on the exhibition's genesis, the close relationship between collector and director and the creative dialogue that shaped their project. AUTHOR: Zoe Barbier-Mueller (1994) is one of Thierry Barbier-Mueller's daughters. She serves on the board of Fondation Musee Barbier-Mueller and fosters her family's artistic legacy. 153 illustrations Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.…

The sequel to The Spirit of Chairs reconfigures Thierry Barbier-Mueller's collection through a symphony of light, sound and staging by Robert Wilson
A second act to the beloved The Spirit of Chairs, A Chair and You revisits the contemporary chair collection of Swiss entrepreneur Thierry Barbier-Mueller (1960–2023), but with a twist. Furniture pieces by artists and designers such as Niki de Saint Phalle, Frank Gehry, Donald Judd, Jasper Morrison and others are seen in a new light―literally―thanks to a dramatic exhibition design by American director Robert Wilson (1941–2025). Conceived as an opera in four acts, A Chair and You is a succession of evocative atmospheres that articulate the sculptural presence of each object. To complement the exhibition, the corresponding catalog recounts the mise-en-scène of each staging and the dramaturgy behind it, while essays shed light on the project’s inception and the close relationship between Barbier-Mueller and Wilson.
