摘要

This chapter details the Chandigarh Chairs project’s collection and analysis of online auction data during the COVID-19 pandemic. Collection and analysis of online auction data is presented as a successful method to remotely study items of modernist furniture from the Indian city of Chandigarh in lieu of more traditional design historical techniques. The method utilized by the project research team is presented, alongside research insights related to the objects of furniture themselves, as well as the broader market within which these objects are bought and sold. The chapter concludes by advocating further utilization of online auction data within the design historical field as both a tool for the generation of greater object knowledge and greater understanding of markets for objects of design.
