Max Lamb — Exercises in Seating: Volumes 1–3

All three volumes of Max Lamb's Exercises in Seating gathered in one book: 87 seats, from 2006 to the present.

The first volume came out with Dent-De-Leone in 2015, recording 37 seats Lamb made from 2006 to 2015, and went into a second edition in 2017. A second volume followed in 2016 with ten seats from 2015 and 2016. Both are reprinted here and bound together with a new third volume of 40 seats that Lamb has designed and built from 2015 onwards, five booklets in all.

Lamb edited the book with Åbäke, Gemma Holt and Sarah Simpkin. The texts are by Tom Dixon, Laura Houseley and Simpkin, and there is a new "Ode to Chairs", written as a letter and signed by Gemma and Ivo. Kajsa of Åbäke designed it, and Park in London printed it on a mix of coated and uncoated papers.

Dent-De-Leone, 2025. 296 pages, softcover with plastic jacket and elastic bands, 18 x 26 cm. First edition of 4,000 copies. In English.
