It's not often that a piece of furniture can stand alone as a statement piece, but the Olenishka Chair could easily be the highlight of any space.
The Olenishka Chair is a sculpture of a deer but it also offers a place to sit down and take a break. Designed by Russian artist Niazique, the chair is currently a concept but the designer wants to make his piece a reality using a variety of different materials.
Furniture that combines an element of style within its function attracts more attention than those which only focus on practicality. Companies could more closely focus on aesthetic in order to increase their revenue, as the Olenishka Chair is sure to attract the wealthy who find pleasure in indulgence.
