Description
Morgan & Sanders's metamorphic library chair established the basic mechanical design for this form. Their chair was rendered in the then-fashionable Neoclassical, or Regency, style, characterized by a concave back, scrolling arms, and curved, saber-shaped legs. The form of Eliaers's library step-chair derives directly from this English example of forty years earlier.
Descriptive medium: Printed paper and watercolor
