About the Item
Monolith III bookend by Turbina
Unique piece
Dimensions: D 18 x W12.5 x H10cm
Materials: Cast Stone, Brass
Stone has been fundamental in material and spiritual development of human beings since their beginnings and, consequently, it has been charged with symbolic and social values that transcend its own materiality. We like to believe that this fundamental circumstance, that stone has been the first ally of human beings in their confrontation with the natural environment, has left a deep imprint in our genetic and cultural memory. Lifting up a stone. Raw stones had a very symbolic meaning for ancient societies, it was believed that the rough and natural stones were the dwelling place of spirits or gods. The act of lifting them, borrowing Oteiza's concept of the struggle against gravity, consecrates the voice of the primitive human over a nature that weakens and threatens him, a challenge to the normal world that keeps the stone firmly stuck to the ground.
Turbina is an art and design studio located in Barcelona and focused on the creation of pieces, objects and machines that revolve around the concepts of time and movement.
Through our work, we try to give other answers to the logical and transcendental difficulties the very idea of time presents.
We respect the materials own language, we select them for their implicit symbology and we explore they’re possibilities comprehending they’re nature. Manufactured by ourselves in a slow and thorough process.

Galerie Philia
Galerie Philia is an international contemporary sculptural design and art gallery representing emerging and established designers and artists. The gallery is the brainchild of two brothers who share a lifetime passion for art, literature and philosophy. Their distinct academic background sets them apart from their peers, as it sees them following a rhizomatic and transcultural approach in the way they select works. This involves combining elements from multiple cultures in what becomes a network of harmoniously interconnected roots, ultimately revealing the beauty of each unique creation. The gallery’s non-hierarchical curation sits apart from the ephemerality of trends and focuses instead on the true aesthetic quality of the piece – alluring and timeless. Unlike others, Galerie Philia does not focus on a single style – whether minimalist, organic or raw – but rather embraces heterogeneity. The Galerie Philia takes pride in discovering new talents, providing them with multiple international platforms to showcase their latest creations. As well as propelling the newest generation of 21st century collectible design, Galerie Philia also works with internationally known design artists. Galerie Philia has a strong international presence, with galleries in Geneva, New York and Singapore. In addition to their permanent spaces, the gallery organizes temporary group exhibitions and artists residencies in first-class locations around the world.
