Summary: Cross linking disciplines from contemporary design practice to design anthropology and cultural trends, this book investigates and spotlights the seat's relationship with its sitter, and other people in its periphery. It examines the power the seat wields, and the power it grants by sheer association. By deconstructing the seat, and bestowing it with life and spirit, From the Frugal to the Ornate: Stories of the Seat in India, reflects upon the marked shift in the way practitioners, users, and analysts conceptualise and engage with object culture, and a subsequent 'turn to the material.
