I see in your comments that you lecture...Hi there!<br /><br />I see in your comments that you lecture on this subject. I've looked for information everywhere on what the exhibitions were all about, what they showcased, what it means for society at the time, and how significant the events are. I can somewhat make a guess on the importance, by proof of the Eiffel tower, Palace of Industry, etc. However I still am short on information in all my questions on the internet. I am aware that world fairs are still held, however their meaning in the dynamic society of today has been diminished. Mainly due to air travel and advancements in technology in bringing the world to our smart phones. If you could point me in the right direction on things I can read up on, like significant buildings or major events that happened in association with the world fairs/empire exhibition, I'd be very greatful!<br /><br />Thank you,<br />WeytaWeytanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-21008900929590157842010-08-02T19:39:52.367+10:002010-08-02T19:39:52.367+10:00Sarah wrote:

I have bookmarked it :)<br /><br />I was wondering if you can give us some feedback on our color-chooser tool that can help users choose the right color for their Barcelona chair.<br /><br />You can check it at:<br />http://www.elegancecode.com/barcelona-chair-col...<br /><br />I'd appreciate your feedback/comments.<br /><br />Thank you,<br />Sarah<br /><br /><br />Hels replied...<br />My pleasure Sarah, although I don't think I can help you. I included the image to show how World Fairs were instrumental in the spread of technology and design. But in all the Universal Exhibitions that were ever held, the Barcelona chair played a role in only one.<br /><br />My recommendation would be to examine the excellent Wilson reference. I hope that helps.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.com
