Description
Conceived in honor of the animal kingdom, the Whale Chair is one-of-a-kind piece exclusive to Cities and is part of the Animal Chair collection, presenting a highly detailed and accurate sculptural reproduction of an animal which is combined with the seating. The Whale Chair consist of an internal steel frame and is made of polyurethane with leather seating. Riera chose the chair as his focus because it is a common, everyday object, but it is also necessary to our daily lives. His goal was to inject the chair with a sense of vitality and to create a stronger connection between the spectator, the piece, and the surrounding space.
The Whale Chair represents a biologically accurate reproduction of a whale’s tail, retaining the animal’s natural vitality. Created as an homage to the beauty of the whale and the whole animal kingdom which inhabits our planet as an attempt to reflect and capture the beauty of this living thing.
