"Penitent"-daybed,
Entwurf Philippa von Bastha, Schweiz 2023, Holz, Granit, Filz, Bienenwachs, signiert und datiert: Philippa von Bastha 2023, Höhe c. 41 cm, c. 210 x 86 cm, Sitzhöhe c. 28 cm. (DRAX) Unikat. A solid, massive piece that leads my thoughts to the monastic silence and minimal "avant la lettre" rigor of making an object with immediate craftsmanship using natural, noble materials: more than 50 meters long wool felt, wood and granite with a beeswax finish. Made as a monoblock, monolithic piece, it gives a feeling of trust and durability doubled by the "economy of means" employed in its concept. The granite stones are attached to the wooden frame using a traditional Japanese technique, while the wool felt is organically treated. A fusion of traditional and contemporary design.
