Batten and Kamp 5 Picks From Philia Collection
Batten and Kamp is the collaborative art and design practice of Alexandra Batten and Daniel Kamp, a New Zealand-born duo creating collectible furniture and sculptures that combine organic and industrial materials in refined, minimalist compositions. Their work explores the tensions between nature and culture, comfort and discomfort, and the relationship between people and their environment.
Recognized by Design Anthology with the Emerging Talent Award, Batten and Kamp have presented solo exhibitions in Hong Kong and Tokyo, while exhibiting internationally with galleries and institutions across Asia, Europe, and the United States. Their works are held in the permanent collection of OMM Museum in Turkey and have been showcased at major events, including PAD Paris and Art Basel Hong Kong.

“I’m drawn to the depth and texture of this piece…I love the way he makes his ceramic feel volcanic.”
“I’ve always loved William’s work and it’s even more special now that we have become friends…I love the way his pieces feel somewhere between bodily and primordial.”

“I absolutely love this piece. Not only is it incredible as a form – combining the structured and the natural, but the dripping and decaying details are beautiful.”
