Large Totem Carbon by Maxence De Bagneux
About the Item
Large Totem Carbon by Maxence De Bagneux
Dimensions: D 36 x H 220 cm
Materials: Stoneware, burnt laminated wood.
Maxence de Bagneux has devoted his free time since childhood to his passion for learning and practicing the plastic arts and architecture. In 2001, after studying applied arts and obtaining a diploma in interior architecture at the Camondo School in Paris, he set off on a voyage of discovery to the heart of Asia's arts and crafts.
Back in France and Normandy, where he was born, he decided to create what he calls "Useful Sculptures", in which they interact with the environment and showcase different skills. In this project, he combines stoneware and wood in a series of Totems that are both decorative and playful, with references to Brancusi and Sottsass, but also, and above all, constructions that can be modulated to order according to the viewer's wishes. Born under the "Mud Mud" label, the constituent elements can be combined via an augmented reality application before being physically assembled by the artist.
Based on his anthropological work, his latest series is devoted to masks, pieces this time made entirely in chamotte stoneware and decorated with engobe, as much art as design. As always, for this somewhat iconoclastic creator, it's a question of working artistically on a basically functional object, in order to entertain it from its primary use and show it to us in a different light.

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.
