The book describes the creation of SIX BIG CHAIRS. By BIG CHAIR , Erik Gronborg does not mean just a chair for a large person, but a ceremonial chair, like a royal throne, a chair which makes a statement. The book describes in text and photographs the creative ideas and technical steps of making the chairs, with a chapter for each chair. It is not a "how to" book but a summing up of his philosophy about being an artist.
