Signed and numbered 37/100 under the seat. Michel Roudillon edition, circa 1985 85x110x115cm A leading figure in Narrative Figuration, the painter and visual artist Bernard Rancillac ventured into sculptural design and experimentation with synthetic plastics in the mid-1960s. Designed in 1966 as part of a landmark exhibition at the prestigious Lacloche Gallery on Place Vendôme, the “Éléphant” armchair exemplifies the artist’s desire to break away from traditional furniture in favor of fluid, enveloping organic forms inspired by the body and nature.
