About the Item

Sculptural and playful, this midcentury Mexican hand chair offers a bold, artistic presence with practical seating comfort. Carved from solid pine, the chair is shaped in the form of an upright hand, with the palm and fingers forming the seat and backrest. The thumb curves naturally to serve as an armrest, while the whole structure rests on a flared circular pedestal base that gives it both stability and a totemic quality. While unmistakably reminiscent of Pedro Friedeberg’s iconic hand chairs, this example is unsigned and likely produced in the same creative spirit that defined many artisan workshops across Mexico during the 1960s and 1970s. The carving work is substantial and expressive, highlighting the natural grain of the pine with a warm, honeyed finish and minor surface irregularities that add to its vintage charm. A standout piece that bridges fine art and furniture, it works equally well as a conversation-starting accent chair or sculptural object. The seat height is approximately 18 inches, making it suitable for occasional seating in a living room, studio, or eclectic design setting.
