Set Lhamu bench by Sizar Alexis
Limited Edition of 10 Pieces
Dimensions: L 160 x W 60 x H 45 cm
Materials: American Cherry
Lahmu When me and my wife got home from the maternity ward in april 2020, we made sure that we were protected from the pandemic and isolated ourselves from everyone, even our families, to protect our newborn son. With the core values of the Discovered project, touch, reflection and strength in mind, I reflected that our apartment was functioning like a bunker in that period of isolation, protecting ourselves from the outside world and from that I got the idea to make a bunker inspired furniture that would represent the emotional connection to these thoughts. My association with bunkers comes from the war in Iraq when me and my family protected ourselves in a room functioning as a bunker in our home. An experience that many still have, to protect themselves from a visible enemy and now we found ourselves fighting an invisible one today. Drawing from the similarities in experiences between my own childhood where there was a visible enemy to be protected from and my young sons where there was an invisible one. I then made two sculptural pieces of furniture to represent these two worlds defined by strong monolithic forms and a sense of stillness. The sculptural pieces serve as a side table or stools and together as a bench or as a low sideboard, inspired by bunker architecture. I chose two contrasting woods: one half in American cherry, for its inherent warmth, and one half in red oak, its surface burned with the Japanese burning method called shou sugi ban. The name Lahmu comes from Mesopotamian mythology of a protective deity that was supposed to ward off demons and sickness. Discovered project was initiated by Wallpaper magazine & AHEC and exhibited in the Design Museum in London in september 2021.

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.
