Sculptural Bronze Chair by James Vilona
About the Item
This sculptural bronze chair by American artist James Vilona (b. 1955), exemplifies modern minimalist artistry through its use of patinated bronze and simple yet striking X-form design. This chair isn't just a piece of furniture, but a work of art that offers an aesthetically pleasing and functionally supportive seating experience.
The chair's design features a back and front leg adorned with a textured surface, providing a tactile contrast to the smooth, patinated finish of the cantilevered seat and back leg. The sides of the chair are finished in satin polished bronze, highlighting the material's natural luster and richness. This interplay of textures and finishes creates a dynamic visual appeal, making the chair a focal point in any setting.
Signed and numbered 14/100 on the upper back, alongside the artist’s emblem "Veretia Vilona," this piece carries a mark of exclusivity and craftsmanship. The chair stands 53 inches tall, 15.5 inches wide, and extends 27 inches deep, with a seat height of 18 inches.
James Vilona's approach to furniture design is deeply intertwined with his sculptural background, emphasizing clean lines and the inherent beauty of bronze. This chair is not only a functional item but also a collector's piece that bridges the gap between utilitarian object and contemporary sculpture, making it an ideal choice for those who appreciate the finer details in both art and design.

- Set Six ‘Trieste’ Dining Chairs by Guglielmo UlrichBy Guglielmo Ulrich, SaffaLocated in Chicago, ILCelebrate the ingenuity of Modernist Italian design with this exceptionally rare set of six dining chairs from the "Trieste" series, masterfully crafted by Guglielmo Ulrich in 1961. Manufactured by Saffa, Italy, these exquisite chairs stand as testament to Ulrich's design genius, embodying an innovative fusion of form, function, and craftsmanship. Named after the first prize it won at the Fiera di Trieste in 1961, the "Trieste" chair showcases its innovative and lightweight construction, paralleling Gio Ponti's famed Superleggera chair. It demonstrates a revolutionary use of lightweight wood and intricate craftsmanship, with solid mahogany construction and unique open dovetail joins in lamellar wood that effortlessly connects the legs and backrest together without the use of screws. These split joinery details, visible at each joint, add a unique design element, making each chair a statement piece. These chairs were produced in limited quantities, further enhancing their exclusivity and appeal to collectors and design enthusiasts alike. The set of six dining armchairs are in very good vintage condition, having been carefully refinished / restored by the previous owner. Each chair is upholstered with plush velvet - four in a soft moss green, and two in a dark emerald green, providing a stylish touch of color. The wrapped seats can be easily reupholstered, giving you the opportunity to customize the chairs to your taste! As light as they are luxurious, these "Trieste" chairs rival Gio Ponti's Supperleggera in their innovative use of lightweight materials, without compromising on comfort or stability. Guglielmo Ulrich (1904 - 1977), born into a noble Danish family in Milan, was a seminal figure in Italian design. His works were inspired by 18th and 19th century designs yet reflected a profound understanding of material and simplicity in form and function. His penchant for rare and exquisite materials, combined with an unerring eye...Category

- Bronze Sculptural Panama Chair, 21st Century by Mattia BiagiBy Mattia BiagiLocated in Culver City, CA"Panama Bronze" is an art and design project, the result of the collaboration between the artist Mattia Biagi and Promemoria. The artist has poured hot tar on a real Panama chair, to bring the object closer to the material and to make it melt in the ground. Mattia Biagi has created what he himself called the "polarity of destruction and conservation". "Although the melted tar destroys the object it touches, in this case, the Panama chair - an elegant and finely crafted object - it simultaneously preserves it in its new and very different form". This is how the original silhouette of the Panama chair was turned into its new incarnation. Thanks to its experience in working with bronze, Promemoria has helped Mattia to refine his work of art, transforming the iconic Panama chair, designed by Romeo...Category
