A “Penitent” daybed, designed by Philippa von Bastha,
Switzerland 2023, wood, granite, felt, beeswax, signed and dated: Philippa von Bastha 2023, height c. 41 cm, c. 210 x 86 cm, height of seat c. 28 cm. (DRAX)
A unique piece.
“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 monobloc, 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.”
