Spectator Twins by Freia Achenbach
About the Item
Spectator twins by Freia Achenbach
Limited Edition of 25
Dimensions: D 105 x W 33 cm x H 68 cm
Materials: resin, sand, foam
The amorphly shaped shelf is not only offering storage or presentation space, but stimulates the mechanism of projection and alludes to different faces that can only be recognized at second glance. When a sensory stimulus is offered to our perception, the spirit accepts this piece and completes what is missing. By recognizing the faces in the object, the role between subject and object is reversed and the shelf is moved into the position of the observer.
Spectator Twins is part of the Spectator Shelf family . It consists of two elements that are interlocking with each other and can be used as a small cabinet or sideboard. Like the rest of the Spectator family, it is characterized by its amorphous curved shapes and alludes to different faces that can be recognized at second glance. Each piece is hand painted with resin which
gives each shelf a unique and vibrant finish.
Freia Achenbach is a Stuttgart-based object, furniture, and spatial designer. Her approach allows movement between disciplines and playfully explores material, form, and colour. In her work Freia Achenbach experiments with a wide variety of materials and both traditional and innovative manufacturing processes.
Her objects always tell a story and bring a certain ambiguity with them. All objects are handmade and/or created in collaboration with small manufactories. She produces objects as unique pieces as well as in small series and realizes commissioned works for customers.
Since 2018 she has been collaborating with June Gschwander and Carlo Kurth under the joint design studio anima ona. She has completed projects with a range of clients including Fondation d´entreprise Martell, Kunstverein Böblingen e.V., GRDXKN structure printing, Studio Saje, Moncomble Paris, Centre Pompidou.

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.
