French Brutalist Wrought Iron Accent Chair By Jean-Jacques Argueyrolles

Sold and priced individually.This French Brutalist accent chair by Jean-Jacques Argueyrolles rejects convention in favor of mythic geometry. Crafted from iron, its back is defined by a large, downward-facing triangle—harshly planar and unapologetically symbolic. Two slender uprights extend above it, each capped with a gilded arrowhead finial.The seat, low-slung and accented with a gilt geometric motif, floats on four wiry legs—each kinked and jointed at severe angles. Argueyrolles’ language is one of tension—blurring the line between furniture design and sculpture.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.
