Glove Couch by John Vieweg
About the Item
Glove couch by John Vieweg
Dimensions: D 107 x W 183 x H 102 cm.
Materials: wood frame, foam, boucle fabric.
RELIEF refers to both a formal and psychological condition.
Historically, reliefs have been made by carving away at natural materials. Thehighkey puts a contemporary spin on this technique by cutting into common industrial products such as plywood and foam. By softening the square edges of these items, their human qualities are revealed.
The Glove Couch, was conceived in 3D software by thickening a curved line. The seat encourages you to sit in its various folds, creating a condition in which you feel held. The form of the item speaks to the industrial context in which it was made. This shape, reminiscent of throwie graffiti, became the basis for an entire graphic system.
The three wall mounted items are a natural extension of the curving motif. The two Carvings continue the soft graphic treatment from the couch, while the Dome Mirror with its convex reflection reveals the entirety of the space around the viewer.
These items provide relief from our complex world.
Thehighkey is a design studio that creates rare objects and environments. The name refers to a condition in which people are elevated. It is from this vantage point that thehighkey operates, leveraging digital technology to produce concepts that go beyond the norm.
Thehighkey’s work is an unlikely mix of forms and materials from the past, present and future. In a world saturated with fast fashion, thehighkey defies standards to create timeless designs that are made to last.

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.
