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.
