Ones age is often viewed as a negative part of existence.
Individuals tend to focus on the fleeting aspects of life rather than celebrating the time that has passed or yet to be lived. The Latin phrase “Memento Mori” directly translates to "remember that you have to die”. If we have to die, then why not live the best life we can. This device counts the number of days lived by an individual user. The ancient origins of its name informing the somewhat artifactual nature of it’s aesthetic. With the passing of each day, numerical discs are physically rotated
to adjust the whole number defined by the two parallel grooves located at each end.
It’s complexity demands the individuals attention, purposefully focusing their mind on the ritual found in changing the number each day. This frequent and consistent acknowledgment of age aims to prevent the mind from becoming complacent, forgetting life’s goals and accomplishments. The physical act of changing the numbers is intended to bring the user into the present moment, focusing their mind on the day at hand and hopefully, celebrate the day that was. It is at times difficult to understand, articulate and express our true emotions. Feelings of confusion and misunderstanding regularly clouds our interactions with others, often resulting in conflict or withdrawn dispositions. Honne acts to address this by embodying the emotional state of an individual user through the manipulation of it’s light output. The top piece is rotated up or down to adjust the strength of light radiating into the environment, symbolising the user’s emotional energy at that point in time. Honne’s minimalist form is key in defining its purpose. The negative space between the inward curving base and diffuser symbolise how withdrawn or social the user may currently be feeling. Through the very act of it’s function, Honne performs as a tool for emotional understanding.
Conscious thought regarding the user’s emotional state needs to be made for it to function correctly. The piece also serves as a social marker, aiming to promote emotional transparency and encourage purposeful conversations with others during times of hardship or conflict.
Concerned with the concept of self awareness, Objects for Self is a response to the growing conversation in Australia acknowledging the importance in understanding mental health issues. Inspired and motivated by Callum’s own mental turmoil, the collection confronts three common yet profoundly burdening concerns faced by most individuals. Fluctuating physical self esteem; articulating emotional expression; and
regret or anxiety associated with age. Through considered ritualistic daily self reflection, Objects for Self encourages the individual to unpack and acknowledge
their mental state. Separated into three objects, each piece is designed to focus on the causality of emotions resulting from these issues, aid in their acceptance and
proactively encourages positive mental life changes. expression understanding acknowledgement.

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.
Different finishes are available. As all those créations are hand-made, clients could ask us different dimensions or finishes.\n
