About the Item
Ava polished bronze bench by Fakasaka Design.
Dimensions: W 45 cm, D 45 cm, H 59.5 cm.
Materials: polished bronze.
Alexia Vela Akasaka is an interdisciplinary Brazilian designer born to a Bolivian mother and a Japanese father. Raised in São Paulo, Brazil, she moved to the UK in 2020 to pursue a foundation diploma in arts and design at Central Saint Martins. Following that, she attended the Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London, earning a Bachelor's degree in Architecture and Interdisciplinary Studies in 2024.
Alexia's mixed heritage deeply informs her design work, where she explores how different cultural and ethnic identities blend, clash, and coexist in Brazilian contemporary culture. This is often expressed in her work through shape and form as a subtle cue to explore experiences and the process of self-discovery, which are brought through quiet references to people and moments lived interwoven within fluid shapes.
Ava Bench:
Created during the COVID-19 pandemic, the AVA Bench was a response to the AVA collection by Alexia's father, Fernando Akasaka. Unlike the rest of the collection, this piece captures the growing pains into adulthood navigating family and personal tensions during Brazil’s national lockdown—a time marked by economic, social, and political upheaval under the leadership of a far-right government. This is embodied through the image of an androgynous figure pulled in multiple directions at once—overstretched, suspended, and unable to move forward. The character's lack of distinct features reflects Akasaka's acknowledgment that this was more than a personal matter but a shared uncertainty, disorientation, and unease that defined her generation at the time.

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.
