About the Item
Kontra Shelves by SNICKERIET
Dimensions: D 41,2 x W 100 x H 243 cm.
Materials: Linoleum.
Adjustments can be discussed as long as the furniture archetype is maintained. Please contact us.
Kontra acts as a depiction of the forces at play in a cantilever construction.
The piece gives off a modest impression but unveils its complexity as its
architecture becomes apparent. Fully encased in natural linoleum, the ultra-matte surface has a texture reminiscent of leather and is smooth to the touch. Kontra is a modular system that becomes more salient when used in a multitude and can be ordered with the desired number of shelves.
SNICKERIET is a furniture studio with an explorative approach to traditional woodworking craft and philosophy. Projects are initiated as research into topics revolving technique, construction, decoration and material properties. The findings are released in the form of individual pieces of furniture. The studio was founded in 2011 and is based in Stockholm and Gothenburg.

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.

Peristylo 4 Shelves by Oscar Tusquets
Located in Geneve, CH
Peristylo 4 Shelves by Oscar Tusquets
Dimensions: D 40 x W 92 x H 211 cm.
Materials: Solid ash wood and stained black wood.
Shelving and base in solid ash wood and turned vertical supports in stained
black wood. Available with or without baseboard. Also available with 3 shelves, 2 shelves and 1 shelf. Please contact us.
Classical principles of architecture inform this simple unit of shelves, bringing together horizontal and vertical elements in perfect harmony.
Columnata took its name from its underlying inspiration and a frequent reference in Tusquets’ work, the column. Within this vertical structure, the horizontal shelves can be arranged in various formations— symmetrical and asymmetrical, wall-hung or free-standing. The final units are functional and refined, ideal for book-lovers and anyone who enjoys such compositional harmony.
Oscar Tusquets describes himself as an architect by training, a designer by adaptation, a painter by vocation, and a writer through the desire to make friends. Graduating from Barcelona’s Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura in 1965, Tusquets became a member of Studi Per. Together, they founded BD in 1972, and he set about designing furniture and objects, soon recognised by the Spanish National Design Award.
