Hubert Le Gall injects fairytale wonder into showstopping furniture

Picture, if you will, three green velvet-wrapped stools — maybe not the most usual set of seats, but certainly nothing to sneeze at on their own. Pair those with a gilded Pinocchio figure and a sawed-off nose, however, and you get homeware that treads the line between form and function, art and furniture.

That delicate dance is the modus operandi of French artist-designer Hubert Le Gall, whose work is on display at the Cuturi Gallery from now till June 22.
