With buzzing wings, it buzzed by and gently plopped down on the palm of my hand. Just a few seconds before it stretched its wings and took off was the beginning of a lifelong fascination for me as a six-year-old boy.
The Beetle Stool is an ode to the wondrous creature that drew me deeper into nature.
From a combination of material experiments and the need for a multifunctional object for personal use, I designed a stool with subtle details of a beetle.
Three legs and a seat were individually extracted from a stainless steel sheet, then folded, welded, and polished. Finally, they were heat-treated (290-600°C) to extract the color from the material. These polished beetle-like colors and shapes make me dream back to those days as a six-year-old boy with the beetle in my hand.
Daan De Wit is a Belgian object designer who started his own studio in 2019. He combines various materials and techniques to produce small collections of objects, inspired by natural phenomena, systems, and ideologies. By looking for the essence, he approaches materials as purely as possible. Techniques are not hidden away, but come to the surface to interact with the material.
"By creating objects that are not purely functional, I do not limit myself to traditional formal conventions. This gives the objects a strong identity regardless of their use."

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.
