AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Hand-shaped seat, with a strong artistic value, made from a single block of solid wood. The seat corresponds to the palm of the hand, while the five carved fingers serve as a backrest and give the chair a very sculptural appearance. The natural wood grains are clearly visible and enhanced by a smooth, satin finish that reveals the texture of the wood. The base is a solid, tapered pedestal that slightly widens towards the bottom to ensure stability. Such a piece can serve both as a seat and as a decorative element.
In the last photo, light scratches are visible at the base of the seat; the remaining imperfections are all attributable to the natural characteristics of the material itself.
