About the Item
Geomorphic chair by Christian Zahr
Dimensions: W 38 x D 38 x H 80 cm
Materials: Cement- Sand- Water- Time.
Each piece is handmade.
Geomorphic Archeology: Unearthing the Ephemeral - Indoor primitive landscapes (furniture and objects). Sand carted. these concrete objects, an agglomeration of unpredictable and predesigned forms archetypal and fictional, archeological and geological, capture the complex and transformative times of the current turmoil. They are the outcome of an exploration of nature's microcosm and macrocosm during the Covid-19 lockdown. Taking advantage of the time slowed down handmade and made by nature (drops of water); they celebrate uniqueness in response to mass production, intimacy in our relation to our in-tenors and objects. Independence from the chain production suspended by the pandemic.
Christian Zahr studied architecture at the Academie Libanaise des Beaux Arts, Beirut, Lebanon. After graduating in 2003, he interned at Ateliers Jean Nouvel Paris (2004) before going back to Beirut and working for renowned Lebanese architectural firms. In 2012 he founded Studio Christian Zahr, where he develops his practice as an independent architect, landscape designer, object designer and artist. Moving between these scales allows him to blur the boundaries between these different realms with the obsession to create a new language. Zahr’s work as a designer was showcased in several exhibitions such as Post-it in La Galerie de L’Architecture - Paris (2004), Beirut Design Week in Beyt Beirut Museum (2018), 1000 Vases in Dubai Design District (2019).

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.

FF Occasional Chair 1
By Simon Johns
Located in East-Bolton, Quebec
A heavy statement chair, with volumes reminiscent of brutalist architecture and deep textured voids. Depth of details are emphasized when the light reaches the voids, while the simple exterior planes become monochromatic geometric shapes. Surprisingly comfortable, the solid gyspsum cement is sealed with an acrylic varnish, keeping it clean.
