About the Item
Artificial Formations Concrete Plate by Davide Ronco
One of a Kind
Dimensions: D 115 x H 15 cm.
Materials: Concrete.
Concrete, the most widely used material in the world after water, is an evident manifestation of the human imprint on our planet. Perceived as mere artificial, it’s seen detached from everything considered natural. As a reaction to this, a series of objects shows the dialogue between man and nature. Starting with pre-designed moulds, the material is rudimentary thrown, letting the organic flow create the surface as a natural process.
Archetypal forms of containers, a vase, a bowl, and a plate, are digitally designed and CNC-milled into moulds. The contrast is given by the actual hand casting process, letting the surface and the material play the main role.
Davide Ronco (IT), is a graduate of the Ceramic MA at the Royal Danish Academy and holds a postgraduate from Konstfack University: Research Lab Craft. He lives and works in Copenhagen.
His artistic practice is rooted in extensive material research and a commitment to solid craftsmanship. Through his work, he challenges conventional tools and methodologies, using site-specific installations and temporary interventions to explore the dichotomy between the natural and the artificial. Among others, he utilizes locally sourced clay and challenges the limitations of the material by embracing its inherent cracks and imperfections, and rammed earth in a manner that accentuates its temporal and decaying nature, rather than attempting to shield it from the effects of weather conditions.
His ongoing research centers on the concept of Ad Extremum, or “until the end; death,” (the human presence’s narrowness) as a reflection of the precarious existence of humankind. Through this lens, he examines themes of transience, fragility, and decay, and the opposition and discrepancies between humanity and nature.
At present, he is working on a new research format based on simple principles and study cases. Sustainable Art Practices: Towards a Socio-Ecological Methodology within Site-Specific, Land and Installation Art.
Whether with sculpture, furniture, or site-specific installations, his diverse work revolves around found local materials, vernacular and traditional artisanship, and construction methods, involving sustainable and up-cycling processes.

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.

Natural Gogotte Formation
Located in London, GB
A magnificent example of a gogotte formation composed of thick swirls and folds of sparkling sandstone. Discovered in the Oligocene sand dunes of Fontainebleau, France, formed circa 30 million years before present or later.
The incredible, almost otherworldly appearance of gogottes may easily be mistaken for the work of a most talented artist. In fact, these sandstone sculptures are entirely natural in origin. They have been found in multiple locations but those from Fontainebleau, such as the present example, are the most remarkable. Thirty-five million years ago, a sea covered what is now the forest of Fontainebleau, and dunes of exceptionally fine and homogenous sand formed. As silica-rich water filtered through this sand, it turned into stone. The flow of water finely modelled the sandstone into the aesthetic concretions we now know as gogottes. These are rare and are only found sporadically several metres deep into the ground. They owe their sparkling white appearance to the extreme and unmatched purity of the Fontainebleau sand, sometimes reaching a composition of 99.9% silica. Each of them is unique – a masterpiece slowly fashioned by the hands of Nature.
The intriguing name of “gogotte” was coined by French geologist Claude Guillemin (1923- 1994), who was inspired by the children’s book series Babar the Elephant. In one of the books, a group of monsters called Gogottes are shown hiding behind rocks. These rocks reminded Guillemin of the sandstone concretions...
