Abstract
In the present work, we focus on some of the current trends used in furniture design, from a dual point of view: differential geometry of curves and surfaces, and the existing perspective deriving from the usual techniques of computer-aided design. The contributions of architects such as Alvar Aalto, Mies van der Rohe, Marcel Breuer, Arne Jacobsen and Charles and Ray Eames to contemporary chair design are related to these techniques. Among them, we point out those which are performed by means of spatial geometric transformations of curves and surfaces, with an emphasis on ruled surfaces.
