About the Item

A striking piece of sculptural art furniture — the "Cubist Girl" chair by Christopher Royal for Rockledge Design Studio, hand-crafted in marine-grade aluminum with a clear baked powder coat finish. Royal's design language is unmistakable: a cubist face forms the high back, an open hand becomes the armrest, and the whole silhouette reads more as functional sculpture than conventional seating. The piece was originally conceived as a miniature study before Rockledge Design Studio scaled it into this full-sized, sittable version, which is exactly why this listing includes both. You're getting the finished large-scale chair alongside its original miniature counterpart, a rare pairing that shows the design's full creative arc from concept to object. This example is in perfect condition, no wear, no oxidation, no dings to the aluminum finish that you typically see on pieces this age. Structurally sound and ready to display or use. Perfect for: — A collector of studio-made, artist-driven furniture design — A statement entry piece or gallery-style accent chair — Someone drawn to Memphis-adjacent, cubist, or industrial art furniture — A design lover who wants the rare bonus of the matching miniature alongside the full-scale piece DETAILS: Designer: Christopher Royal for Rockledge Design Studio Origin: USA Period: 1980s Material: Marine-grade aluminum, clear baked powder coat finish Dimensions: 22"W × 32"D × 50.5"H Seat Height: 19" Arm Height: 21.5" Condition: Perfect — no wear or oxidation on the aluminum, structurally sound Includes: Matching miniature "Cubist Girl" decor piece 📍 Based in Chicago, IL — local pickup warmly available and encouraged. ❓ Questions?
