About the Item
A unique sculptural chair prototype known as the “Giraffe,” designed by a French architect, circa 1960. Crafted in solid wood, this one-of-a-kind piece blends functional design with architectural experimentation. Its bold geometry, elongated backrest, and asymmetrical base evoke a zoomorphic silhouette, earning it its nickname. With a strong Brutalist spirit, the chair pushes the boundaries between furniture and sculpture, echoing the conceptual furniture explorations of mid-century avant-garde designers. Both graphic and organic, it stands as a statement piece—ideal for collectors of radical design, architectural prototypes, or expressive modern forms.
