In the lexicon of Rick Owens, the Gallic Chair Tigre Plywood (2007) embodies a language of sophistication and rebellion. Fashioned from tiger-striped plywood, the chair stands as a bold declaration of Owens' penchant for unconventional luxury – a meeting point for brutalist structures, unexpected forms and intriguing details. The choice of material, marked by its unique, tiger-like pattern, infuses the everyday with an extraordinary aesthetic, while the unexpected composition sees a half-curved seat gloriously placed atop pointed legs that effortlessly become the focal point.

Rick Owens
Rick Owens grew up in Porterville, a small town in California’s San Joaquin valley. Drawn to pre-gentrified Hollywood and L.A.’s punk underground in the 80s, Owens studied painting at what is now Otis College of Art and Design. He then switched to Los Angeles Trade Technical-College to learn pattern-making and draping.
