Dr Bell's lecture helped too, didn't it? I liked the way she kept asking who would actually have bought each chair, and what kind of home it belonged in.

Questions 25-30
The correct answer is F because the Wassily chair is linked to confidence in new industrial materials, especially tubular steel.
Associated Text:
The angle I would use is Breuer treating tubular steel as if a factory material could belong in someone's living room. There's a real belief there that modern production could improve design.
The correct answer is D because the Eames lounge chair is described as upmarket, made with fine leather and rosewood veneer, and carrying a high price tag.
Associated Text:
Leather, rosewood, a high price from the beginning, it feels more like comfort with status attached.
The correct answer is A because Jonas connects the Egg chair with his grandmother's hallway and says it makes him return to a childhood memory.
Associated Text:
My grandmother had one in dark green wool in her hallway. I remember curling up in it when I was little, almost hidden inside the shell.
The correct answer is B because the Panton chair is presented as a deliberate image of future furniture, pointing forward rather than back.
Associated Text:
It still feels as if it belongs a few decades ahead of its own date.
Erin: Yes, that makes sense.
The correct answer is E because the Wishbone chair is described through its hand shaped back, woven paper cord seat, and joints, so craftsmanship is the focus.
Associated Text:
You notice the hand shaped back and the woven paper cord seat before anything else.
Jonas: And the joints. It really asks you to think about the person who made it.
The correct answer is G because the Red and Blue chair is described as deliberately challenging older chair conventions.
Associated Text:
The straight lines, the primary colours, the lack of ornament, it is pushing against what older furniture was supposed to be.
