The life sized human figure floor lamps come in either a naked male form or a naked female form. There male form is in a seated position as though talking to a group of friends. In this regard, the lamp would ideally be placed next to a sofa, armchair or indoor bench where it can become part of the social arena of the home. The female form is standing in a contrapposto pose with her hands on her hips. This is very much a model pose frequently copied by young women wanting to appear sexy. As such, this lamp is deal for placement in a corner of an interior space or by a door.

Each of the floor lamps is headless and instead comes with a large lampshade matching the color of the body. Incidentally [editor’s note: when slightly miss-typing this word the spell checker offered up “indecently” as a possible correct spelling. Make of that what you will. ] , the floor lamp bodies are available in white, black and a variety of other colors. If you have a home needing some extra eclectic décor, these human figure floor lamps with shades for heads, will make a perfect addition.

The abstract figurine consists of two main sections both joined together by a pair of arms. The top section depicts the thinking man’s head, chest and shoulders whilst the lower section is comprised of his crossed legs. It’s very Eastern in theme and style and this is no wonder for the human sculpture is made on the Indonesian island of Bali, now most famous as being an attractive international tourist destination. Skilled artisans in this region of south-east Asia have long been making works of art and sculpture from the natural materials found in the forests of this part of the world.

The day dreaming figurine is made from Suar wood which is a type of hardwood native to a rainforest tree in South America. In the last century, the tree species was spread across the tropical regions of the world and is now found in Indonesia as well. Suar wood is a very eco-friendly wood for it is fast growing and easily replaceable. Its popularity as a material for sculpture can be found in the fact that the wood varies dramatically in color from the centre of the tree to the outer rings. Its interlocking grain also makes it a strong wood and less liable to crack in drier regions of the world such as North America.

The thinking man wooden figurine has been individually hand-carved and will thus be a unique piece. It will look lovely in just about any room in the home and will certainly sit well in an Asian or Buddhist themed interior.

I’ve written about human figure sculptures before especially one in the style of the Swiss sculptor Alberto Giacometti. His human figure sculptures were famous for their elongated forms and have remained popular ever since his death in the 1960s. Whilst not necessarily inspired by the work of this artist, the end table female forms are certainly reminders of what made Giacometti’s art so distinctive and memorable.

The end table women also have a decidedly ancient Greek and Roman style about them, albeit with the more contemporary stretching of the body. Perhaps they are a subtle reference to Venus, the Goddess of love, fertility and beauty. For admirers of the female form and the history of sculpture, these female form end tables will make a fantastic addition to a living room interior. They can be used to hold table lamps, books, coffee mats and anything else that’s needed close to hand.

There are a variety of reasons why people take up yoga and these vary from the spiritual to the desire for extra fitness and improved flexibility. The physical and mental discipline of yoga first came about in India in connection with the native religions of Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. For many people in the West with an interest in these religions, yoga is a natural progression along the route of their fascination with South and Eastern Asia.

The word ‘yoga’ comes from Sanskrit and has a variety of meanings based on unity and connection. It’s thought that practising yoga can improve both mind and body when it comes to ailments including back pain, stress and even depression in some cases. The statues will look great in any room in the home and will fit well on a shelf or table where they can clearly be seen and will catch the light and reflect beautiful silhouettes onto nearby walls.

I must admit, I’m not familiar with all of Alberto Giacometti’s work and if someone had said this was a reproduction of one of his pieces, I would have believed them. This metal human figure sculpture is very similar in style to that of the famous Swiss sculptor and painter. Just like Giacometti’s stick people sculptures, this metal human figure is a study of human nature and a composition of a part of ourselves we would each recognise.

It’s interesting to note, that the French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre once said of Giacometti’s figure sculptures, that they were symbols of existential despair. Perhaps this was formed from the Swiss artist’s experiences of Cold War anxiety. Yet with this sculpture I am showcasing today, I see more of a stoic figure that stands proud and with a discernible bodily expression of childlike wonder. Unlike the existentialist angst that coursed through the works of Giacometti, this metal human figure sculpture is looking to a new beginning, a world of possibilities.

If you’re looking for a figurative metal sculpture in a similar style to the stick people of Giacometti but with a more positive gait, this elegant human figure sculpture will be ideal. Placed in front of a window, on a side table or beside a traditional brick fireplace, the human figure sculpture will catch the eye and provide a talking point as well as a catalyst to philosophical pondering.

The sculptural human furniture pieces one can see in the images are by Dzmitry Samal, head of ‘Samal Design’ which is a design studio based in Paris. Samal describes his human furniture creations as being “a mix between the pragmatism and efficiency of the geometrical shapes and sculptural beauty of the human body”. There’s a lot of philosophical points to be made regarding these beautiful and unusual furniture pieces. I’m reminded somewhat unsurprisingly of Franz Kafka’s short story ‘The Metamorphosis’, where a man turns into an insect one morning. However, in the case of these sculptural furniture pieces, the human form is transforming into something altogether more attractive and indeed, functional.

The designer of the sculptural human furniture pieces, Dzmitry Samal, has a rich cultural background and education in design. He’s worked with fellow designers from around the world and travelled widely during his studies and for work. The sculptural human furniture pieces are therefore the creation of a highly imaginative mind which has been cultivated through experience in countries such as Belarus, Italy and France.

I’ve written about living human furniture before but these pictured here are something else. Their metamorphosis from human to furniture, or alternatively from furniture to human, create existential questions about our very nature and how we shape the world around us. Do we become furniture to our surroundings or perhaps we are merely decorative art like a poster on the wall? For designers, the questions about how furniture is designed can be given an extra impetus through the viewing of these sculptural human furniture pieces. Surely a wardrobe for example can be made to mirror the main torso of the human body? A wardrobe does act as a storage area for clothes which hide the main frame of a human being after all.

The sculptural human furniture pieces in many ways echo the shape of the human body when interacting with the furniture piece involved. For example, the closet shows the human body reaching out to take something from within, such as a shirt or coat. A floor lamp is shaped like a human arm reaching for the on and off switch. Low shelving is shaped like the bended knees of someone searching for a book on the lower levels. The furniture becomes us, like a mirror image, a statement of who we are.
