About the Item
Spalted Maple stool, by Fritz Baumann
Dimensions: Top 29 x 26 x h 52 cm
Materials: Maple
*This piece is suitable for outdoor use. Please note that the patina may change and the white grain may diminish with time when exposed to rain.
Hand made from solid pieces of wood, free-cut following the natural grain, made one by one, the stools of Fritz Baumann are the kind of objects that remind us of the sheer beauty that exists in nature.
From forest to studio, Fritz Baumann creates these sculpture-like seats in stages, working first from large green pieces of wood, processed on the spot with a chainsaw, then cut and chiselled into simple bridged forms, then comes the drying process; a long phase in which the wood loses its tension, possibly tears, settles into its new form. Finally, comes the more delicate work – the careful planning and sanding of the seat until it is ‘smooth as glass’ and the filling in of drying cracks with a pen. Wherever the wood has split is joined in but made visible to honour the ‘blemish’, reminiscent of the Japanese aesthetic wabi, which sees beauty in imperfection.
And it is no doubt this entire process, labour-intensive and full of passion, that makes these stools so appealing in their final form. Through each phase, both human and nature play an equal part, and as a result no stool is quite like any other. While they all possess a real sense of strength and durability, a combination of smoothness and texture, the human touch, there are never-ending variations, in colour and form, size and finish, and each one looks as though it has its own story. Which, in fact, it does.

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.
Different dimensions and materials choices can be made to order.
