REI KAWAKUBO, Chair No.2 for Comme des Garçons

Chair No.2 designed by Rei Kawakubo and manufactured by Pallucco, Italy, in 1987 for Comme des Garçons, Japan. Part of Kawakubo's rare furniture production from 1983 to 1993, comprising around forty designs. After initially producing unique pieces and very small quantities, she briefly collaborated with Pallucco in the late 1980s on a limited series of works. This chair originates from that period.

Defined by a strict geometric black steel frame and a wire mesh seat, the design is stripped to its essentials. The use of raw materials and a restrained black and grey palette emphasizes form, giving the piece a severe, urban, almost brutal character. A highly collectible example, in very good condition!
