About the Item
Travertine Block Tray by Henry Wilson
Limited Edition of 50
Dimensions. W 30 x D 18 x H 7 cm
Materials: Classico travertine.
Available in Classico travertine and Persian Brown marble.
Block Tray is a limited edition of fifty pieces inspired by Modernist sculpture and architecture – particularly the detailing of 1960s façades. It also evokes the work of Carlo Scarpa, whose precise geometries and skillful manipulation of light and shade leavened volume and gravity with pleasing understatement. As Philip Johnson summarised, the Venetian architect could ‘‘make poetry out of the smallest rod or piece of stone.’’
Amply proportioned and crafted from solid stone, Block Tray offers two diagonally sectioned concavities, with a generous shadow line lending a floating effect to its substantial, plinth-like form. It’s a perfect receptacle for everyday valuables – keys, card case, coin wallet – or for clusters of stationery, collectibles, or smoking materials.
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.
