Mono Table by Christian Friedl
About the Item
Mono Table by Christian Friedl
Limited edition of three pieces.
Dimensions: D 150 x H 74 cm.
Materials: Ash, oak.
Building a table from solid local wood without separate feet is the vision of the Creator. A wonderful story in which nature and a creative spirit coexist merge...
Bending wood – an old craft that only a few people have mastered. A few native woods have the property of being able to be bent under certain conditions. An enormous amount of time that is worthwhile for a single piece? For Christian Friedl a clear YES when it comes to creating an extraordinary unique piece for a lover and collector.
Mono tells his story...
„Mono“ is a synonym for unity..., bent from two different woods, a Sculpture. Formed into a round table, in the appearance of a trumpet blossom... 36 selected and carefully sorted pieces in ash wood on the top and oak wood underside, are cut raw form e, in a specially made kettle with 100 water heated to a certain degree, via a specially developed template with enormous Effort bent and glued together. These blanks are now milled, sanded, brushed, and polished into precisely fitting parts to get a delicate joint so that each individual slat can work separately from me. To assemble the 36 parts, an elaborate template must be built in order to connect them with each other. Subtle counter-curves at the end of each of my slats make me look like a flower. You get an anthracite anodized aluminum strip which separates the two different woods from each other and closes the circle again. A deep brushing and dyeing with natural lye enhances my natural wood character and gives me a fine and gentle feel. My surface is filled with natural oil protected and additionally soaped.
„MONO“..., an extraordinary and unique piece for many generations is created. I am waiting longingly and with great joy for my new owner.
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.
