Bananas are traditional indicators of hilarity. We puncture our pretensions by slipping on their skins, they’re comic stand-ins for the male member and they’re yellow – a colour that’s always been considered slightly silly. For these reasons and more, 59-year-old Cattelan – one of contemporary art’s more established pranksters (previous works include a solid gold toilet that was stolen from Blenheim Palace earlier this year) – titled his work Comedian. But even this practised controversy-monger could hardly have predicted the marvellous farce within a farce he was about to unleash.

A Balenciaga sofa that's not what you think Balenciaga and designer Harry Nuriev created a reimagined sofa full of discarded Balenciaga clothes for Design Miami. The sofa is a classic shape, filled with unsellable Balenciaga fabric and covered in scrapped vinyl. The piece "reflects Balenciaga’s recognition of the responsibility designers have to counterbalance their environmental impact, and dedication to implementing programs that upcycle waste and contribute to a circular economy." crosby-studios.com
