La Chaise Bleue de SAB

2014

This monumental steel sculpture depicts an oversized beach chair rendered in bold navy blue lines against the Mediterranean Sea. Created by French artist Sabine Géraudie, the work sits on the Promenade des Anglais in Nice, a waterfront promenade famous for leisure and relaxation. The chair's exaggerated scale and simplified linear form transform an everyday object into a commanding public monument, inviting contemplation on themes of rest, tourism, and coastal culture. Executed in painted steel with clean geometric proportions, the sculpture captures both the lightness of summer recreation and the weight of contemporary public art practice. Its commanding presence overlooking the sea positions the work as a witty commentary on Nice's identity as a celebrated seaside destination. Photo by Shalev Cohen on Unsplash
