In the Black Marble Series, comprised of five distinct pieces or positions, in the language of contemporary sculpture Justus Knut Schomann explores the intersection of primal form and sculptural restraint. Conceived for Gallery PHILIA and produced in Northern Italy, each object is issued in a limited edition, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
At the core of the series lies an engagement with essential typologies archetypal shapes stripped to their barest expression. The works are at once graphic and monolithic: dark, weighty presences that command space without excess. Their visual language recalls something ancient, even proto-architectural, evoking the interior of a stone shelter or the protective void of a cave.

Carved from a single block of Plexiglas, this bowl exemplifies a rare level of material precision and refinement. Each piece is shaped through exacting hand-guided processes before undergoing a meticulous diamond-polishing treatment, which imparts a luminous, mirror-like surface that refracts light with remarkable clarity.
The bowl’s simplicity belies its technical sophistication: its seamless contours and crystalline finish give it a sculptural presence while remaining quietly versatile in use. Whether functioning as a vessel or a standalone object, it embodies a balance between artistry and function.More than an accessory, this work is an expression of material mastery—a distilled, luminous object that elevates any space through its purity and presence.

Acies Circum II Frosted and Clear.
Building on the clarity and refinement of the original design, AC II distills the series’ sculptural language into a more compact and versatile form.
Its precise geometry and luminous surface allow AC II to integrate seamlessly into a variety of interiors, whether domestic or professional. Equally suited as a functional vessel or as a standalone object, the piece embodies an understated elegance that elevates any environment.

We believe in the enduring value of craftsmanship. Every detail is shaped with precision and intention, resulting in objects that carry a sense of permanence and quiet elegance. These are pieces that are not only made, but truly built to last rooted in material honesty and a deep respect for process.

Collectible design is an exploration a journey into the essential character of objects. Each piece is conceived as a fusion of raw material and thought, where form finds purpose and every detail speaks. This is design stripped to its essence, bridging art and function in a way that resonates instinctively. It’s about crafting pieces that do more than occupy space; they provoke, inspire, and challenge. These creations live and breathe in their surroundings, carrying a quiet intensity that transforms the everyday into something remarkable.

Skamní - Stool
Designed for ROUGH.

With the SKAMNÍ stool, developed exclusively for ROUGH., Justus Knut Schomann translates his precise, architectonic design language into a distilled functional object. Defined by four exacting bends, the stool’s inward-facing vertical folds serve a dual purpose: they lend the piece exceptional structural stability while shaping its sharply articulated silhouette.
Crafted from high-grade 5 mm aluminium, SKAMNÍ embodies a refined economy of means. Its minimalism is neither ornamental nor austere, but rather the result of a structural logic made visible—a quiet expression of strength and balance.Offered in three finishes—brushed aluminium, black, and pearl white—the stool adapts fluidly to a range of environments, from domestic interiors to more rugged architectural settings. In its clarity of form and material, SKAMNÍreflects Schomann’s larger practice: the pursuit of objects that unite functional intelligence with sculptural presence.

Limited Edition
Morocco Replica

This handcrafted bronze tray, cast and finished in Germany, originates from a singular gesture: the desire to preserve a fleeting moment of craftsmanship. Inspired by the image of a Moroccan stonemason shaping a vessel entirely by hand, Justus Knut Schomann chose to recast that original form literally and metaphorically into bronze, granting it permanence.
The object carries the marks of its making, a tactile record of both the artisan’s hand and the transformation of material. Each patinated finish is unique, the surface evolving into subtle variations that heighten its individuality.In its quiet presence, the piece becomes more than a functional tray; it is a container of memory. Like a time capsule, it speaks to the human impulse to hold onto moments whether a gesture of craft, a place, or the intangible feeling of a journey well taken.
Duo Simplicia a bespoke steel side table. Meticulously crafted from two distinct components. The culmination of artistry, adorned with a wax finish, highlights its raw materiality.
The formal language of Duo Simplicia is derived from industrial steel construction, referencing structural steel beams and T-profiles commonly used in architectural and infrastructural contexts. Their clear geometry, load-bearing logic, and functional cross-sections informed both proportion and detailing, translating an infrastructural typology into a domestic scale.
