1970s Vintage Mid Century Modern Hand Lounge Chair, in Dark Brown-- One Piece

About the Item

Excellent Prop piece, or a Living Room, studio or office POP! This listing is for the Dark Brown chair. We also have a White chair, sold separately, pictured here. The RMIC hand chair made its first appearance around the year 1970. The spectacular chair is made of plastic and shaped like a giant hand with its palm turned upward, while the fingers serve as a backrest. Originally, the hand chair was designed in 1962 by Pedro Friedeberg, a then 24 years old surrealist artist. Friedeberg artistic sensibilities were decisively directed against everything conventional, and he was inspired by the Dadaistic practice of producing anti-art for art's sake.
