About the Item
Ode chair by Sizar Alexis
Signed and Numered
Edition of 12
Dimensions: Length 45 x width 55 x height 74 cm
Materials: Burned pine wood
The hexagon has more to it than we think, and some of the aspects of this shape are still
mysterious. The series is an ode to the aesthetics that I fell in love with in a geometrical
sculptural works of art and the interesting perfect form of the historical hexagon. It's
fascinating how hexagons are part of our life but fail to realize this. It all comes down to the
element that is present throughout our body, and that is carbon.
The use of the form dates back to ancient mesopotamia ca. 690 BC in the form of hexagonal
shaped cuneiform of the Assyrian king Sennacherib ´s annals, and is one of the first humans
found to utilize hexagonal shapes.
The series comes in natural solid pine or burned pine that gives it its character and tactility in
the visible wavy woodgrains.

bear a strong character, accomplished through the use of raw and imperfect surfaces in combination with a deep interest in Brutalism and the rich
cultural and architectural heritage from ancient Mesopotamia. He uses
the delicate character of noble materials juxtaposed with Brutalist angular
shapes to create objects that Stand the test of time.

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.
