Maximo Riera’s hand-made furniture series is definitely something to behold. The growing collection of all-black furniture is striking, hilarious, serious and one-of-a-kind.

The Animal Chair collection constitutes a diverse range of species, from mammals to reptiles, and even including insects. 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.
