Catalogue Essay
Originally belonging to renowned Japanese fashion designer, Nigo, this iconic blue armchair reflects the unconstrained and eclectic nature of Katayama’s unique collection. Pee-Wee Herman’s Chairry, endowed with expressive eyes, eyelashes and a mouth, made its debut as a character that came to life in the American children’s television show, Pee-wee’s Playhouse.
