About the Item
The Floe Stool by William Emmerson
Limited Edition Of 2 Pieces.
Dimensions: D 16.75 x W 20 x H 29.25 cm.
Materials: Naxos marble.
A shape. A floating mass of white marble turned into a piece of functional sculpture representing the beauty behind detachment, the singularity of brutalism, right there in front of the eye, raw. Crafted in a unique geometry, mimicking the intricate shapes of an iceberg, of nature afloat.
We selected Naxos marble for the Marble Berg collection due to its unrivaled natural imperfections and luminosity, evoking an ethereal radiance inspired by the captivating beauty of glaciers. Naxos marble beautifully captures the mottled appearance of shadowed snow and the
intricate architecture of icebergs in nature, transforming each piece into a masterpiece of nature's grandeur. This exceptional marble's workability enables us to sculpt our vision with exacting precision, while its rich historical significance adds a heritage dimension to our contemporary creations. With Naxos marble, the Marble Berg collection seamlessly unites the timeless appeal of natural stone with the craftsmanship of human hands.
The Floe is an enchanting addition to the Berg collection, skillfully merging functionality with the spirit of an art piece. Hand-carved from a marble block, it takes inspiration from the captivating geometric patterns seen in icebergs. Each Floe stool is a manifestation of the artisan's creativity and their ability to harmonize human ingenuity with natural materials. This stool, aside from its aesthetic charm, serves as a practical seating solution.

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.
