About the Item
Black Tela Chair by Wentz
Dimensions: D 54 x W 55 x H 80 cm
Materials: Tauari Wood, Cotton, Weave, Plywood, Upholstery.
Weight: 5,4kg / 11,9 lbs
The Tela armchair is a meeting between contemporary design and traditional Brazilian materials. The weave of the backrest is inspired by the classic “straw” found in Modernist furniture. The weave design was recreated on a new scale and uses cotton as the raw material — instead of straw — for greater comfort and durability. The elongated silhouette of the back really emphasizes the fabric, while the wooden structure and upholstered seat have subtle inserts and curves. The armchair seeks maximum comfort with minimal structure, light aesthetics and a tropical memory.

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.
