Creator: Pierre Augustin Rose
Offered by: Habitat-Gallery

Description
Introducing Le Minotaure, the chair that dares to be more than just furniture—it’s a mythical creature brought to life in the coziest, most stylish way possible. Named after the legendary Minotaur, the half-man, half-bull monster of ancient Greek mythology, this chair takes inspiration from its dual nature—powerful, wild, and utterly captivating. Imagine settling into a chair that feels like a polar bear-turned-throne, ready to envelop you in the deepest, most luxurious comfort you’ve ever experienced.

Let’s talk about those curves! Le Minotaure is oversized in all the best ways, with an expansive wingback design that wraps around you like a big, warm hug. Draped in Pierre Frey’s off-white teddy mohair—one of the finest fabric lines in the world—it’s like sitting inside a cloud, if that cloud were also a masterpiece of high-end design. The texture is so plush, so inviting, that it practically beckons you to sink in and stay a while.

And those legs! Oh, those legs. The front legs are chic, conical, and lacquered in a sleek black, giving just a hint of the chair’s sharp edge, almost like a creature ready to pounce—or at least make a statement. But the real showstoppers are the back legs. They’re like nothing you’ve ever seen before—arching down, gracefully touching the floor, then lifting off in a smooth, fluid arc before landing again, like a mythical creature on its knees, poised in waiting. It’s as if the chair itself is a living, breathing thing, ready to cradle anyone bold enough to take a seat.

Le Minotaure blends mythical inspiration with Picasso’s artistic imagination and Italian design sensibility, resulting in a chair that’s both iconic and playful. It’s more than just furniture—it’s a fabulously oversized creature of comfort, waiting to embrace you in style. This chair is art, it's myth, it's luxury—and it's ready for you.

This chair would look incredible in any mid century modern, modern or Danish modern styles home.
