About the Item
Isla dressing table by MOB
Limited editions of 5 + 1 prototype
Designer: Ivan Navaro and Courtney Smith (USA)
Dimensions: H 154 x D 76 x W 154cm
Material: Birch plywood, mirror, white coated light bulb
This sculpture is a dressing table.
It is inspired by the fusion of Courtney’s work Island, (2009) and a Ivan work Vanities (2017). Both artists have worked together and independently the concept of the dressing table as a solitary station for reflection. Although it is considered an obsolete object today, the dressing table is typically associated with the feminine world, beauty and intimate adornment. The work rescues this rare object with a romantic-nostalgic function, but eliminates the image of the reflected goddess, thus creating an isolated space of deep contemplation.
The furniture is constructed by isosceles triangles of decreasing sizes and geometric subdivisions. It is made of plywood, with all exposed surfaces covered in light blue formica. There is a mirror, perpendicular to the main "table" of the vanity with three vials, one at each angle. The furniture has several surfaces but no drawer or cabinet. The dressing table is accompanied by a single triangular bench, which can be fitted into the triangular voids of the main object.
MOB is an international design incubator that develops furniture projects designed by artists and architects.
Based in Lisboa and Santiago de Chile, MOB aims to invite young creators from different parts of the world to present proposals that confront their points of view around a piece of furniture. Through exercises based on their own local realities, these pieces are located in a global scene and then finally return to the intimate context of their daily use.
MOB invites creatives with both emerging and established careers, always under the premise of looking for fresh and particular voices with their own style and challenging their contexts. In this way, they want to materialize personal research into products capable of transmitting the complexity of social and formal thinking.
MOB aims to produce commercial pieces that establish connections capable of developing crossovers between multiple places, creators, users, and ideas, through a production model based on commissioning design by invitation, manufacturing and distributing certificated limited editions by MOB ensuring high production standards.

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.

The board of a table is much more than a mere support: it is a line that divides two worlds. On its upper part certain codes are maintained, there are prescribed ways and conventions. Above that level reigns the protocol, the scopic, the customs and courtesies.
Everything changes under the table. There appear the flirtations, the furtive gestures, the hidden. In this invisible field dominate the unseen signals and the secret codes, the tactile ones. Also the pets rest covered by an architecture to their measure and, inadvertently, doze. Under that plane, the feet are confused and mixed in a small choreography, where the human and artificial legs...
