Chair - Teak - Hand Chair/Sculpture

Splendid 20th-century sculptural chair in teak wood, stained walnut, shaped like a hand and inspired by the work of “Pedro Friedeberg,” a Mexican artist and designer (born in Florence in 1936), known for works that combine elements of Surrealism and functionality. The chair is in excellent condition and was made by assembling two blocks of solid, dense, heavy teak. The first piece forms the base and is made from a teak log in the shape of a squared cylinder, while the other piece—the hand itself—has been hand-carved, with the creases and nails realistically carved in detail; the seat truly resembles the palm of a real hand. The two pieces fit together and are secured with four wooden pegs, making the structure particularly sturdy and stable. The sculpture was made in the 1970s/80s and, thanks to its beauty and composition, can be considered a work of art. Beautiful, lighter-colored teak grain is visible, making this object especially distinctive and sure to be appreciated and sought after by any lover of art and design.
