French designer Pierre Yovanovitch has partnered with the legendary “red bottoms” purveyor (and his longtime friend) Christian Louboutin to create a series of open-edition chairs inspired by “historical muses, mythology and film.” The line includes nine limited-edition creations modeled after Yovanovitch’s Clam chair with Louboutin’s famous red-soled heels as legs.

Each work is galvanized by a specific character. “Dita,” which features a statement-making burlesque costume with laser-engraved upholstery, was created after Louboutin’s comrade Dita Von Teese.

Down the line, “Nefertari” is inspired by the ancient Queen Nefertari, the wife of Egyptian Pharaoh Ramses II, and “Zenobie” cites the Empire of Syria’s Queen Zenobia as the reference. Among several other models, the line also includes five “Simply Nude” chairs, toasting to Louboutin’s celebrated Nudes footwear collection.

“This collection is as much of an homage to French savoir-faire as it is to feminine beauty,” Yovanovitch said in a statement.

The collection will be on view at Pierre Yovanovitch Mobilier New York from May 3 to May 24, and it will be available for purchase on the designer’s webstore.
