Forged in iron, the back rises into a sweeping crescent, its arc framing a textured medallion that radiates outward like a sun. The square seat, inlaid with a gilt geometric motif, floats on four wiry legs—each rough-hewn edge embracing imperfection. Argueyrolles’ language is one of tension, blurring the line between furniture design and sculpture. Sold and priced individually. Jean-Jacques Argueyrolles was born in 1954 near Paris. He works with bronze, stone, iron, and wood, designing furniture lines in a minimalist-baroque style while also creating sculptures and monumental works. He considers Dalí, Tàpies, and Moore his artistic masters, yet he sees himself as an autodidact—a self-made man—which helps explain the atypical nature of his work. Condition: Great vintage condition, with a richly patinated finish throughout. One chair has a square gilt motif along the seat, while the other a triangle.
