Transit of Venus Round Coffee Table in Black Granite
Cast Bronze by Jesse Ede
Limited Edition of 7 Pieces + 2AP
Dimensions: D 100 x W 160 x H 40 cm.
Materials: Black granite and cast bronze.
Amongst the rarest of predictable astronomical phenomena is when Venus visibly passes in front of the Sun.
I was incredibly fortunate to view this event back in 2012 ,as it only happens in paired sightings 8 years apart.
The previous transit was 121 years before that back in 1884.
The next predicted transit will be in 2117.
This solid Zimbabwean black granite base and open-cast bronze plate table pays homage to this special astronomical event.
The bronze plate effortlessly swivels 360° creating a kinetic interactive experience.
Born in Cape Town, Jesse Ede is a self-taught designer who favours materials and a process-driven approach to furniture design and sculpture. Working primarily in aluminium, stone, bronze, and brass, he looks to celebrate the rawness of uncontrollable outcomes from processes that are uncommonly used.
Ede’s childhood was spent at the workbench of his father, an artist, designer, carpenter, and leather worker, schooling him in a wide array of skills and sparking a deep love for craft. For eight years, he worked as an artisan all around the world, including a long stint as a carpenter for a boat-building company in Antigua. Upon returning to South Africa, he opened a small design and manufacturing studio that provided custom interiors and furniture installations for clients in the commercial sector.
Ede’s work is the outcome of a great deal of experimentation with open-cast smelting. He favours exposing and highlighting the organic nature of his mediums – manipulating them to expose the contrast between the material itself and the man-made processes that form them into collectible furniture. He sources his materials himself, visiting local quarries to select a piece of Malmesbury slate or granite – the character of which dictates his final design. Every new project sees him taking on a new design challenge and adding to his repertoire of skills.

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.
