About the Item

In Memoria Chair in Cast Bronze by William Guillon Hand Sculpted, Dated and Signed Limited edition of 4 Dimensions: D 54 x W 56 x H 80 cm (custom dimensions upon request) Materials: Patinated cast bronze, quartzite stone Also available in white bronze. This myth began as a collaboration, one that felt as instinctive as it was unexpected. I crossed paths with Rebecca Plisson, a French artist whose practice moved me deeply. She rescues discarded bra straps from the fashion industry and uses them to wrap forgotten objects, reviving them with tenderness and defiance. I invited her to blend her poetic gestures with my own language of bronze. We found four antique French bistro chairs, wounded by time but still full of presence. Instead of hiding their scars, we chose to highlight them. My hands shaped new bronze elements, while hers enveloped the wood in layers of salvaged textile. Every detail is visible. Nothing is disguised. This collection is about reclamation—of objects, of memory, of forgotten elegance. It’s about giving a new voice to what once was, without erasing its story. It began with four chairs. Others may follow. William Guillon William Guillon’s main influences are strong artistic movements, often dark and filled with modern melancholy. Obsessed with a futuristic dystopic vision, the issues he adresses are always loaded with his attraction for a strong imagery. Beyond his influences, he has always been driven by his love for noble materials, raw materials to work on and embellish without altering them. Always valuing handicraft work, his objects are designed as high quality products, without ever compromising the aesthetics for the easy option. William Guillon has set up his studio with, as a basis, a reflexion around black and darkness. His interest for luminous objects was indeed born of a desire to carve this darkness with light as if it were a pure and precious material. William Guillon’s creations are handmade in France, are all available in various finishes and materials.

Bronze Sculptural Panama Chair, 21st Century by Mattia Biagi

Bronze Sculptural Panama Chair, 21st Century by Mattia Biagi

By Mattia Biagi

Located 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...

Meltdown Chair, Bronze #2 by Tom Price, Contemporary, Limited Edition

Meltdown Chair, Bronze #2 by Tom Price, Contemporary, Limited Edition

By Tom Price

Located in PARIS, FR

Meltdown Chair, Bronze #2 is a piece by English artist Tom Price, from the Meltdown Series. This chair is created using a ‘lost-plastic’ casting technique: a chair made from polypropylene tubes is encased in a thick ceramic shell and then melted out. The artist then pours molten bronze into the empty space that has formed and, once the metal has cooled and hardened, the ceramic shell is broken away. A work on the surface follows: the underside is left raw and patinated black while the seat is polished until it acquires a bright mirror finish. Every chair in the edition is unique because the ceramic mould must be broken to release the bronze, and therefore the entire process must be repeated for every new edition. Launched in 2007, the Meltdown Series earned Tom Price widespread international acclaim for his innovative production processes and eye-catching approach to working with commonplace plastic products. The way of assembling the plastic material and the mostly unpredictable patterns created by the heating method ensure that every piece is unique and unrepeatable. This design pieces are true sculptural objects, while at the same time being fully functional and very robust. Meltdown Chairs are included in the permanent collections of several Museums, including SFMOMA San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (US), the Denver Art Museum (US), The Nelson Atkins Museum (US), Chatsworth House (UK), MKG Hamburg (Germany) and the Amore Pacific Museum (South Korea). Works from the Meltdown Series have been exhibited extensively throughout the USA, South America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. They have been included in many high-profile museum exhibitions, including SFMOMA San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (US), MAD Museum of Art and Design New York (US); The Mint Museum (US); Denver Art Museum (US); Design Museum Holon (Israel); Design Museum Gent (Belgium); NRW Forum Dusseldorf (Germany); The Latvian National Museum of Art in Riga (Latvia). They have also featured at international art and design fairs, including Design Miami Basel (Switzerland); Sao Paolo Design Festival (Brazil); Cheongju International Craft Biennale (South Korea), Design Days Dubai (United Arab Emirates); Gwangju Biennale (South Korea) and Lodz International Design Biennale (Poland). Finally, the series has been featured in multiple publications, including: The Campaign for Art...
