About the Item
Matra Functional Sculpture by Andrei Clontea
Dimensions: W 13 x D 29 x H 36 cm
Materials: Ceramics
It’s important to note that due to the hand-building process, each piece may present slight differences. This adds to their unique charm and individuality.
Open for customisation (size and finishes), provided it enhances the overall piece.
MĀTRA is a ceramic lamp which draws its inspiration from the intricate layers of sediments, gracefully overlapping, twisting, and curving within the Earth’s crust, offering a glimpse into the geological marvels that have shaped our world.
As it casts a gentle, orange, luminous glow, it conjures images of molten lava silently coursing beneath the Earth’s surface.
In this ceramic piece, the volatile geological narrative is quietly reimagined, finding its place in the gentle ceramic form, revealing the poetic elegance hidden within our planet’s most intense moments.
Andrei Clontea is a self taught artist who has seamlessly transitioned from the world of architecture to the realm of ceramics. Splitting his time between Luxembourg and Brussels, he has embarked on an artistic journey exploring the infinite possibilities that clay has to offer.
His work manifests as sculptural forms that draw inspiration from the elegance of nature, the grace of animals, and the complexity of human body. By translating these influences into organic shapes with earthy textures, he brings a harmonious balance between rawness and refinement.
While nature serves as a wellspring of inspiration, his artistic vision transcends its mere replication. His architectural background manifests in his approach as he weaves elements of structure, texture and light into his ceramic pieces. It is through this fusion of natural and architectural sensibilities that his art assumes a distinct character – a dialogue between seemingly contrasting elements.
Through his sculptural forms he invites viewers to embark on a sensory journey where they can explore the intricate relationship between human, nature, and architecture.

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.
