Product description
A rare limited edition side chair, known as "Fauteil Éléphant" or "Elephant Chair", designed in 1985 by French artist and sculptor Bernard Rancillac. The Elephant Chair was originally designed in 1966 and exhibited at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris in 1968. In 1985 a limited edition of 100 signed pieces was produced. This particular chair is marked as "Rancillac 37/100". As the name already suggests, the design of the chair is inspired by the shape of an elephant. The sculptural fiberglass seat is supported by a black-coated section steel frame, with a horseshoe-shaped foot. This statement piece would fit well in a mid-century modern interior, but also in a post-modern or even a space-age-inspired home.
