Luiz Philippe Carneiro de Mendonça, Cross-Legged Chair, 2017

A pair of playfully posing chairs, dreamed up by the Brazilian artist Luiz Philippe Carneiro de Mendonça, a self-professed admirer of surrealism and the Dada movement. Whether adding handles to blocks of stone to render them impossible suitcases, adorning a rusty spade with a row of pearls to transform it into a neck, or imbuing chairs with a distinctly human quality by the mere crossing of a leg, Carneiro de Mendonça never tires of upending our expectations of everyday objects. And we can’t get enough.
