The name “Y” stands for the way the rear legs and the back support are placed. This simple chair leans forward in a flexible and articulated way, in a bit of a childish attitude and imitates some wooden toys and children’s sketches. When turned around it can also be used as a little horse.
This simplicity and naivety of the less-practical, in a world of constant pressures towards perfection and performance is a way of communicating peace and equilibrium. Technically having three pieces meet at the seat was a challenge that remains concealed inside the wooden structure, using metallic pieces to add sturdiness. The back support is meant for the lower back and as a handle.
Jorge Suárez-Kilzi was born in Venezuela to immigrant parents of Spanish and
Syrian descent. His collection of works is signed under his mother’s last name, Kilzi, which is also often used to describe a person who works with plaster and chalk-unconsciously leading Jorge down a path he was destined for. The name has a link to a hard childhood in movement, to an immigrant background, to Latin American and its vernacular arts, to a sense of movement and evolution.
As a grown man, the sensibilities of his childhood took him all the way to Japan, where worked as an architect in the offices of Sejima+Nishizawa Associated Architects/ SANAA and Junya Ishigami. Swiss architecture, which seemed in contrast, firm and steady, called upon him on a different basis, a return to order but also a reconnection to nature. A recent trip to Mexico and the mesoamericas, felt to Jorge as forgiveness to his early history and aesthetics. Driven by years of immersion in exotic culture and architectural experience, in 2018, he made the decision to become a freelance architect and artist, going from fields of architectural visualisations to ceramics and furniture, giving special attention to drawings and decorative motives. Every piece is expressed in simple forms and delicate emotions, where fluid silhouettes accompany each other like a soul in companionship. Jorge’s recent creation is titled “Mush” Lamps, comprised of two mushroom-shaped lamps made entirely of fibreglass and organic resins. This opaque material allows light to spread outwards, imbuing a warm glow and ambiance into any interior - existing as both a practical light source and ornamental piece. Jorge shares that his project began with no particular form in mind but later found a resemblance to mushrooms when complete-which he also shares a fascination for the fungi kingdom.“.

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.
