Brazilian designer Henrique Steyer is presenting a special range of monkey-shaped furniture -- essentially alternative versions of some of the most iconic pieces of his collection -- to celebrate the success of this furniture brand's first year.
The collection includes a multi-purpose stool that operates as both a bedside table as well as a living room foot-rest. Its two supporting sides present the silhouette of a monkey. The surfaces are held in place by a rectangular platform that passes through the voids in the monkeys' bodies.
These unique Henrique Steyer creations come in a massive range of color options in high gloss, matte lacquer and a wide variety of wood veneers. Original pieces from the collection were exhibited at Milan Design Week 2014 and were a hit with the international media. Photo Credits: designboom, henriquesteyer.br
