Limited-Edition Mantaray Mini Chair

Astuguevieille for CoutureLab

Neo-Dadaist assemblage

Own investment pieces by Christian Astuguevieille to sign your love of the radical; your belief that the objects we surround ourselves with should fire fascination and new perspectives, not just satisfy functional needs. An exhibitor at the world's great museums, the artist translates his observations of ethnic cultures and traditions into items that defy conventions and trigger new synergies. Signature works relate to his “Imaginary Civilization”, a fantastical realm inhabited by eternal warriors, hunters and creatures bound to the cycles of nature.

Christian's Mantaray Mini Chair interplays exotic denizens of the deep with the mundane accoutrements to our terrestrial lives to create a synergizing assemblage, à la Salvador Dali. Choose this charismatic work for the finishing touch to a bathroom, bedroom, study or private collection. Handcrafted chestnut wood forms the frame over which a squadron of soft toys interweaves to form a labyrinthine “living” sculpture. Limited edition comprising just four pieces; available through CoutureLab only. Measures approximately: 21.5 x 18 x 15” (55 x 45 x 38cm).

Please note: this objet d'art should only be used for decorative purposes and is not suitable for children.
