Colonization has shaped many aspects of our lives, including furniture design. With their Uprooted project, Valeria Schriber and Niklas Wolf aim to highlight the cultural background of traditional manufacturing and cultural practices that are often forgotten. Their compendium places furniture in its historical, cultural, and ecological context. The book is divided into the focal points "form" and "material." It sheds light on the culturally specific design and materials that found their way into Western furniture craftsmanship through colonization. They explain the ecological, economic, social, and political consequences and connections in order to provide a comprehensive understanding of the cultural effects of colonization and globalization in furniture design.
