About the Item
Blackened Bronze Compass Hook by Henry Wilson
Dimensions: W 6 x D 8 x H 9 cm
Materials: Bronze (Blackened)
The blackened compass hook is made, finished and polished in Sydney, Australia using sand-casted gunmetal bronze. For its size, it can bear a surprisingly substantial heft.
Sand-casting involves liquefying metal and pouring it into a sand mould. The compass hook is designed around the arcs of a compass; the intersecting lines giving it a feeling of sturdy utility.
Our hooks are manufactured in small batches so slight variations will occur from piece to piece. Production marks may include slight pour ripples or surface pitting.
They will arrive with a blackened finish and will continue to oxidize and darken over time to reveal a distinctive patina.
Simply use a metal polish to restore a like-new finish.
Dimensions mm: 70 L x 55 W x 85 H
Note: Hooks come with matching screws

Henry Wilson's work combines a rational, democratic utility with an element of sculptural expression. There is a clear form and function in our products, but it’s important they also have feeling. We are interested in the awkward beauty that comes from something made by hand. We like to explore how imperfection can be introduced into an Industrial process, to make something at scale that retains a sense of individual charm.

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.
