Footnote
This lot was part of the 1985 re-issue of the Elephant chair, produced by Michel Roudillon, after Rancillac's original edition of 20 in 1966. The original intention from Roudillon was to complete the overall edition of 100, however this did not happen and the edition was limited to 50.
The 1985 edition was manufactured in five colourways, including white, red and yellow, which were the most popular. The green examples were rarer, and it is thought that only two or three examples were probably produced.
