This sculpture has a very particular silhouette and the radicalism proposed by the artist was approved by Emperor Haile Selassie I himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of the 1960s, Calka also developed a passion for design. From his work and his research on the implementation &#8211; particularly on plastic materials- will notably emerge the Boomerang desk and its monumental version, the \u00ab\u00a0PDG\u00a0\u00bb (which is French for CEO) having special compartments to integrate a telephone or a cigarette lighter. Iconic, this desk is available in 41 different colors.
