If you happen to be looking for a new set of chairs and like to stand out from the crowd, take a look at this almost alive Animal Chair collection by Máximo Riera.

Máximo Riera has been a practicing artist for over thirty years. Inspired by his travel and experiences through Europe and the Caribbean Islands, Máximo’s vibrant use of colour and evocative attention to detail have been an inspiration which convey the meaning of his creations.

The Animal Chair collection constitutes a diverse range of species, from mammals to reptiles. Each creation retains the animal’s natural vitality whilst being totally biological accurate in their appearance. This collection is homage to these animals and the whole animal kingdom which inhabits our planet, as an attempt to reflect and capture the beauty of nature in each living thing.

The main reason Maximo Riera chose to create a chair is because it is an everyday object, something taken as common and banal in our lives.

“Whilst considering the chair’s basic functionality, I also wanted to bring it alive, make it more present and create a stronger link between the spectator, the piece and the surrounding space,”says the artist.

西班牙设计师Maximo Riera设计的“犀牛椅”是他之前一个系列家具作品的延续。这一系列作品将家具和动物结合到一起，每件家具的主要部件都装饰有一种动物。这次的作品和之前设计的“章鱼椅”有着许多相似之处。“犀牛椅”内部有一个框架用以支撑整个椅子的重量并加强稳定性和平衡性。


       在这次的创作中，riera选用犀牛这种动物来表现自然的能量和威力。当设计尚停留在概念阶段时，Riera意识到创作中的最大障碍是合适的比例。制作完成的犀牛椅具有极强的雕塑感，并拥有“王座”一般十分优越的比例，凸显了动物本身尊贵霸气的品质。
