Shagreen Bench with Palmwood and Bronze-Patina Brass Details by Kifu Paris

About the Item

Inspired by the original Dandy Bench by Kifu Paris (see images at end of slide), the Dandy II Entrance Bench is the ultimate luxury seating. The seating area is inlaid in cream shagreen the frame and sides of the bench in Palmwood and the legs are completely inlaid in bronze-patina brass. On the left and right side of the bench both armrests are in upholstered with white vachette. Other versions are also available as part of the Dandy II Capsule, see images at end of slide. This piece is designed by the daughter of Ria and Yiouri Augousti. The finish of the shagreen is authentic as it is hand-dyed and the designer calls the finish look: "antique natural shagreen." The dimensions of this piece are 160.2 x 45 x 71.4 cm All Kifu Paris pieces are handmade by artisans, ultimately making each piece unique. Wipe clean with soft dry cloth. Although inspired by her parents, her collection of Home Accessories and Furniture is a distinct identity of its own. Kifu uses handmade techniques of elaborate inlay patterns of shagreen, shells, semi-precious stones, materials she experienced as a child growing up in her parent’s studio, but interpreted in a younger quirkier way reflecting her youth. From her "jewelry inspired knobs" on decorative boxes, gold bar boxes and an extravagant inlay pattern mix of shagreen and shell inspired by galactic constellations, as seen on her enormous round mirror, is refreshing to see. Kifu embodies whimsical elements throughout her collection and is not afraid to be daring and unexpected in her approach to design. All shagreen-covered items should be kept out of direct sunlight, color variants may occur on the stingray and other exotic finishes, but this showcases the Parisian label's commitment to creating authentic luxurious products using natural components.
