Philia & Kids is the gallery’s philanthropic arm. The not-for-profit initiative collaborates with international designers to inspire, connect, and engage children worldwide with design, from reflection to conception and creation.

The inaugural edition Design Brut | Philia & Kids unveiled new furniture designs imagined by from Breil-sur-Roya primary school in France.

PHILIA organized the “Chantier Partagés” (shared workshops) project with the Société du Grand Paris and Le CENTQUATRE-PARIS. The idea behind the project was to invite the designer Frédéric Saulou to work with a regional stone excavated from the new train worksites and create collectible design works in collaboration with local children of Palaiseau. PHILIA donated the bench that they co-created to their school. It will be shown permanently there.
