Rei Kawakubo, Chair No.2 for Comme des Garçons

Chair No.2 designed by Rei Kawakubo and manufactured by Pallucco in Italy in 1987 for Comme des Garçons, Japan. Part of Kawakubo's exceptionally rare furniture production from 1983 to 1993, comprising around forty designs, the chair reflects the same radical and architectural vocabulary found in her fashion work.

Defined by a strict geometric steel frame and wire mesh seat, the design is reduced to its essential structure. Its black colour and industrial materials give the piece an almost brutalist character. A rare example of postmodern collectible design in very good original condition.
