Beauty of Simplicity Coffee Table by Grzegorz Majka

Grzegorz Majka is the innovative creator of unique, made-to-order stone furniture and the owner of Grzegorz Majka Ltd. His modern designs for stone tables and other furnishings and decor — which are crafted with distinctive materials such as granite, quartzite, Calacatta marble, European oak, and hand-blown glass — make a bold statement in any space. 

Majka studied interior design but found himself drawn to stone masonry. Beginning in 2004, in his role as a stonemason, he sought to develop new approaches to working with natural stone as the primary material in furnishings for the home and other projects. This effort naturally led him to create tables and decorative objects, but as a stonemason, he was criticized for endeavoring to create furniture from stone. Design enthusiasts reacted much differently, however — those in the market for provocative furniture and decor that could be functional as well as serve as a focal point found a lot to love in Majka’s work. 

After several years, Majka gained new contacts and partners who believed in his ideas for projects and controversial combinations of materials. He founded his namesake firm in London in 2020. Today, he works solely with interior designers and architects who share his vision to create interiors that are not only fashionable but practical.

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.
