About the Item

Gilt bronze chair with seat covered in goatskin by Mark Brazier-Jones. Signed and numbered 35/100. Circa 1994. Mark Brazier-Jones is an internationally celebrated artist, master furniture and lighting designer, engineer, and sculptor. His patrons are film and rock royalty, and art collectors all over the world. Since the commencement of his career in 1983 as a founding member of the Creative Salvage Group, Brazier-Jones has honed a collection and philosophy unique within the concept of functional art. Brazier -Jones like objects with lasting qualities, that are not fashionable and that will stand the test of time. Today Brazier-jones works from a rustic 16th century bar in rural Hertfordshire. Here he and a small team of craftsmen develop his work. He believes this self-imposed isolation to be essential to the process of consequential creativity. He only occasionally ventures abroad on research, or to visit his clients. Examples of his work are held in the Victoria & Albert Museum, London; le Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris; the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; the Museum of Art and Design, New York; and the Decorative Arts Collection of the Brooklyn Museum. Contemporary design sales at auction houses such as Sotheby’s; Philips, Bonhams, and Christie’s show a consistent rise in the prices of his work, and a growing demand from collectors, especially for early pieces.

"Leda" Chair Sculpture by Salvador Dalí 20th Century Brass Surrealist design
By Salvador Dalí­, BD Barcelona Design
Located in Barcelona, ES
Armchair model "Leda" Structure in polished cast brass varnish. Salvador Dali Taken from “Femme à tête de roses" (1935)” 1935 (Woman with a head of roses). It was sufficient for this sculpture to be made as a three dimensional piece, remaining faithful to every detail in Dalí’s painting. Dalí affirmed: “A chair can be used even to sit on, but only on one condition: That we sit uncomfortably.” We can sit on the Leda, but due to the fact that it only has three legs and that the chair is heavy, it being made of solid brass, is more a work of art than a functional piece of furniture. © Salvador Dalí, Fundació Gala-Salvador Dalí, Figueres, 2022 Artworks by Salvador Dalí: © Salvador Dalí, Fundació Gala-Salvador Dalí, VEGAP, Barcelona, 2022 Salvador Dalí is the most versatile and prolific artists of the 20th century and the most famous Surrealist. Though chiefly remembered for his painterly output, in the course of his long career he successfully turned to sculpture, printmaking, fashion, advertising, writing, filmmaking and design. Born in Figueres, Catalonia, Dalí received his formal education in fine arts in Madrid. Influenced by Impressionism and the Renaissance masters from a young age, he became increasingly attracted to Cubism and avant-garde movements. He moved closer to Surrealism in the late 1920s and joined the Surrealist group in 1929, soon becoming one of its leading exponents. In the Paris of the 1930s, Dalí surrounded himself with a circle of friends working in the application of art to a number of varied disciplines, beyond the study of purely pictorial art. One of these, Jean-Michel Frank, an acclaimed furniture designer and decorator in Paris at that time, got on extremely well with Dalí, and together they developed a number of ideas. One example of this is the Bracelli lamp, a classic design in Jean-Michel’s manner of designing and working that Dalí adopted for his home in Portlligat. Among Dalí’s projects, which add to his CV as a designer, are the garden furniture for his home in Portlligat, the complete architecture of the Night Club (in the shape of a hedgehog) for the Hotel Presidente in Acapulco (1957) and a project for a bar in California in the 1940s. His creations were not limited to traditional furniture elements, but included taps, handles, knobs, prints and objects of indeterminate use. In 1933, Dalí even registered the patent for the design of a bench as an outdoor seat. In the 1990s, a team of experts led by Oscar Tusquets set out to bring to life the furniture that Dalí had sketched for Jean-Michel Frank, including the Leda chair and low table taken from the 1935 painting “Femme...
