Yinka Shinobare’s Windy Chair looks like a piece of material wafting in the air. Yet it’s a sturdy aluminum chair designed for display as well as sitting. Nigerian-British artist Shinobare is known for his use of patterns from Dutch wax fabrics that follow the trail of the slave trade. While Windy Chair features images from those textiles, this work marks the artist’s first foray into furniture, according to Brett Littman, a senior director at the gallery. The chair comes in an edition of 3, and each chair is unique because the pattern can be changed, Littman said. They list for $290,000 each.
