About the Item

Mid-Century Modern Sculptural Hand Chair in the Style of Pedro Friedeberg, 1970s A captivating example of Mid-Century Modern surrealism, this sculptural hand chair, carved entirely from solid wood, stands as an artistic statement rather than a utilitarian piece of furniture. Crafted in the 1970s and stylistically aligned with the iconic work of Pedro Friedeberg, this remarkable object blurs the boundary between design and fine art. With dimensions of 57 x 47 x 72 cm (seat height 48 cm), the chair features a boldly carved hand — the palm forming the seat, while the fingers extend upward to suggest a backrest. Though it resembles seating, this piece is not intended for everyday use; it functions primarily as a freestanding sculptural object, commanding attention in any setting. The form is both figurative and abstract, evoking a sense of curiosity, playfulness, and reverence for craftsmanship. The wood’s natural patina and variations in grain emphasize the artisanal quality of the carving. Subtle wear and age-related markings only enhance its authenticity and vintage character. Rich in personality, it invites tactile exploration while standing firmly as a collectible and artistic centerpiece. Ideal for collectors of surrealist-inspired objects or connoisseurs of sculptural design, this piece adds an unexpected twist to interiors — whether placed in a gallery, studio, or curated living space. It functions as an art piece that embodies the whimsy, imagination, and boundary-pushing ethos of the mid-20th century design movement. More than a chair, this is a symbolic gesture frozen in wood — a hand extended not in utility, but in form, meaning, and visual intrigue.
