About the Item
Namaste Shrine by Christian Friedl
Unique Piece.
Dimensions: D 55 x W 160 x H 182 cm.
Materials: Oak, gold leaf.
Namaste tells his story...
I am a shrine where you can store your most precious treasures. My body is made of solid oak. On my wood surface, you can still see the cut of the band saw, you can feel the original haptic structure that was undoubtedly created solely from the finest craftsmanship with the great dedication of the creator. It is additionally brushed, dyed, and protected with natural oil.
Open my two doors and you stand in front of an „altar“ – a magnificent piece of jewelry. Inlays made of bog oak are finely handcrafted in my eight marked and softly closing drawers, and smile at you.
19 intertwined circles, the oldest of which was found around 5.000 years ago in the temple of Abydos in Middle Egypt, from the center of my back. The 90 petals are carefully made from an old bog oak, which also dates back to this time. Embedded in 24-carat gold leaf, they shine for you full of splendor of their captivating simplicity.
Christian Friedl
Longing is a funny thing. Some people have it, others follow it - and sometimes it is the particularly difficult times in life that remind you of what lies dormant within you. That's exactly how it was for me. The path to this was marked by a break from crafting. After all, it was 23 years and hundreds of exciting projects that I implemented together with many great customers and architects before I grappled with the question of what my life still had in store for me just before my 50th birthday. And that is exactly what brought me back to my professional roots: working with the living and sustainable material wood. Over time, I discovered that I was not made for the system. Returning to this very special material showed me where the path leads, although for me the creative process with and around the material wood is the main focus.

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.
