Alambre Wire Chair by Alfredo Häberli

Sculptural qualities define this object. A vivid dynamic between different gestures creates an expressive form. Made out of bended wires, this chair is delicate and light. Due to its materialization and technique, it resembles a sketch with a spatial feature, so the negative space has a quality of its own. Although airy and dynamic in shape, it has a rather firm expression. It is produced in 2022, and it is rusty, so the surface is protected with a thin layer of epoxy resin. I think this piece blends well with many styles in interior. As a chair with a strong character, it is an interesting addition to each space. P! Galerie’s selection is mainly focused on design masterpieces between 1918 and 1970. Apart from rare French mid-century modern design artefacts by Pierre Jeanneret, Jean Prouvé, Le Corbusier, and Charlotte Perriand, our offer includes masterpieces of historic importance and value by Gerrit Rietveld, Lina Bo Bardi, Marcel Breuer, Oscar Niemeyer, or, for example, Eileen Gray. Following all ethical and juridical requirements, all items from our carefully curated collection come with a certificate of authenticity. We try to preserve as much of patina as possible during the process of restoration, as it defines these historic pieces. Not only do we cooperate with museums and offer auction houses our services and expert opinion, we also look forward to welcoming you as a private collector and connoisseur.
