From the series "Design Brut Philia & Kids"

"Design Brut: Philia & Kids" is the first edition of a non-profit initiative conceived to inspire, connect and engage children from around the world with design, from reflection and conception to creation. "Design Brut: Philia & Kids" unveils new furniture designs imagined by children from Breil-sur-Roya primary school in France and brought to life by Antoine Behaghel and Alexis Foiny from Studio BehaghelFoiny, the designers selected for this first edition. The project Design Brut is inspired by French artist Jean Dubuffet’s notion of ‘Art Brut’, commonly translated as ‘raw art’, i.e. art created outside the academic tradition of fine art by children as well as marginal communities, including prisoners and patients in psychiatric hospitals. According to Dubuffet, these groups produced works that were more direct, emotional, truthful and untrammeled by cultural conventions and norms, compared to those of trained artists, influenced and moulded by technical and academic knowledge.
The philosophy behind ‘Art Brut’ inspired Galerie Philia’s founder Ygaël Attali to find ways to stimulate connections, reflections, and discourses on design beyond academic conventions through collective workshops and collaborations that would be low-cost and sustainable. The answer was Design Brut Philia & Kids, an inaugural workshop introducing 6-7 years old children to the practice of sculptural design that took place earlier this year over a period of five months in Breil-sur-Roya, a French village nestled in the Roya valley in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur. Under the supervision of their teacher Virgile Ganne and the artistic direction of contemporary designers Antoine Behaghel and Alexis Foiny from Studio BehaghelFoiny, the children were invited to draw shapes and ideas on paper to form their own interpretations of sculptural design. The children’s drawings were then realized as physical designs, sculpted in local olive wood by Studio BehaghelFoiny together with a cabinetmaker from the region, followed by a small display in the chapel Notre-Dame-des-Monts in the presence of the children and local community.
The project was documented in a film that was unveiled at the exhibition in Paris, alongside the new designs. Ygaël Attali, Founder of Galerie Philia, explains: “The documentary questions the actual definition of furniture design. The meaning emerges gradually through the drawings of the children and their physical incarnations. If raw art is defined by the unadulterated approach and absence of limits in the creative field, it seems here that functionality - the necessary notion of proportion and balance - is maintained, making it a key component of sculptural design”.

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.
