Crafted in the 1970s and stylistically aligned with the iconic work of Pedro Friedeberg, this remarkable object blurs the boundary between design and fine art. with dimensions of 57 x 47 x 72 cm (seat height 48 cm), the chair features a boldly carved hand — the palm forming the seat, while the fingers extend upward to suggest a backrest. Though it resembles seating, this piece is not intended for everyday use; it functions primarily as a freestanding sculptural object, commanding attention in any setting. The form is both figurative and abstract, evoking a sense of curiosity, playfulness, and reverence for craftsmanship. The wood’s natural patina and variations in grain emphasize the artisanal quality of the carving. Subtle wear and age-related markings only enhance its authenticity and vintage character. Rich in personality, it invites tactile exploration while standing firmly as a collectible and artistic centerpiece. Ideal for collectors of surrealist-inspired objects or connoisseurs of sculptural design, this piece adds an unexpected twist to interiors — whether placed in a gallery, studio, or curated living space. It functions as an art piece that embodies the whimsy, imagination, and boundary-pushing ethos of the mid-20th century design movement. More than a chair, this is a symbolic gesture frozen in wood — a hand extended not in utility, but in form, meaning, and visual intrigue. See less
