Stool for Galerie PHILIA

Within the Black Marble Series, the stool is conceived as a seated monolith an object that balances bodily function with sculptural severity. Reduced to its essential components, the form recalls an archetypal notion of sitting, where surface, mass, and proportion are resolved with deliberate restraint.
Rather than yielding through softness, the chair asserts presence through weight and geometry. Its carved planes and contained volumes echo architectural interiors in stone, evoking enclosure and stability. As with the other positions in the series, the chair occupies a space between use and contemplation, offering a place to sit that is as much psychological as it is physical.

Exclusive for Galerie PHILIA
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.
Despite their apparent austerity, these pieces cultivate a subtle emotional resonance. They radiate a sense of refuge and stillness, offering a quiet resistance to the speed and volatility of the contemporary. And yet, there is tension too: a latent force embedded in their mass, a held breath beneath the surface. With Black Marble Series, Justus Knut Schomann does not simply sculpt objects, but proposes environments—zones of psychological and physical gravity. It is this oscillation between comfort and severity, between form and feeling, that defines the series and marks it as a significant contribution to the discourse on contemporary material poetics.
