Help me identify this art/chair?

I bought an interesting small chair at a local thrift store. Here's a picture of the front.
It's signed and numbered as an artwork under the seat. Which seems to say: "autre phenix" "51/250" "Sala 83"
Here's the chair from the back.
It seems to be made of wood or fiberboard, covered by plastic laminate (like Formica[tm]). It's quite heavy. It's a single chair size.
Any information on this chair?

Best answer: To quote a famous thrift store authority, "this is f'n awesome". A 1983 Piranha chair, one of the three in Pierre Sala's limited edition trio, is for sale at 1stdibs for $3200. Find a reputable appraiser and report back!
