Paperback. Condition: New. What began as a spontaneous enthusiasm for a photo turned out to be a long-lasting fascination with one of the world's best-selling products: the Monobloc, as it is known in specialist circles. It's the simple plastic chair that exists all over the world, as director Hauke Wendler discovered during his research trip. In November 2021, a documentary film will be released in cinemas, which is about this chair and its countless contexts. Hauke Wendler sees the piece of furniture, which is made from a single cast - hence the name - as a stand-in for stories, anecdotes and snapshots. Although the Monobloc is never the centre of attention, it is always a supporting actor and somehow "present" on all five continents the director has travelled to. The piece of furniture, of which there are supposed to be a billion copies, is as universal as hardly any other object. The photobook "Monobloc", which traces Hauke Wendler's journey alongside the documentary film, is a declaration of love for the world's most famous plastic chair.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -The Monobloc is the best-selling piece of furniture of all time. It is estimated that there are one billion copies of this cheap, often white plastic chair all over the world, in every country and every corner. How did it get this far Grimme Prize winner Hauke Wendler spent eight years working on a documentary that gets to the bottom of this question. This photobook, which brings together film sequences as well as archival footage from Monobloc enthusiasts around the world, tells the story of how this unremarkable chair, despised by many, conquered the world. How it destroyed livelihoods and brought wealth. How it threatens our environment and good taste. But also how the Monobloc is indispensable to millions of people for whom a chair is a chair and nothing more. MONOBLOC is a globalization-critical story between functionality and beauty, capitalism and participation, consumption and recycling.HAUKE WENDLER (\*1967) is a film director, writer, and producer. After studying political science and history, he began working as a freelance journalist and reporter for various television stations before focusing on his work as a filmmaker. 192 pp. Englisch.
