Cold Bent Chair by Nick Pourfard
About the Item
Cold bent chair by Nick Pourfard
Dimensions: D 61 x W 41 x H 102 cm.
Materials: wood.
Different finishes available.
Wood is bent without steam or lamination, playing advantage to tension and memory built into the wood naturally.
Nicholas Bijan Pourfard is a furniture and lighting designer based in Southern California.
Pourfard is completely self-taught in woodworking and machining, though he double-majored in industrial design and business marketing at San Francisco State University. He’s been building furniture and lighting for himself but only started promoting it this past year.
Furniture design has its parameters, of course, but it’s allowed Pourfard to contrast the precision of measurement and the patterns of math with something more loose — organic shapes offset by angularity, like his Bloop lighting, where plump handblown glass blobs glow and rest on a base of geometric steel. There’s something companionable, a kind of friendly quality, to his pieces, whether it’s the warmth of his ceramic Mushroom lamps or his Box chairs, which despite the rigor of their form, still invite you to sit.

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.
