Often referred to as Surrealist, this hand-shaped chair is one of the artist's best-known bodies of work. As with his architectural drawings, Friedeberg rejects and opposes modern designs or what is commonly accepted as good taste. With its conical base and shiny finish, the chair rejects the works of his contemporary furniture designers. In several of his later works, Friedeberg introduced the hand as a recurrent theme.
