furniture

furniture as a medium

Furniture has accompanied me since my apprenticeship in carpentry.
My study of free arts/sculpture I financed working with a friend,
who run a furniture shop in Berlin Prenzlauer Berg.
He was the one who provided me orders. In the basement of the shop
I built furniture objects tailored to individual customer requirements
and supplied the neigbourhood.

Based on the model of "craftsmen on the road", I started my artistic processes related
to these travelings during the duration of my study. By one of my Hamburg friends
I landed in Bad Gastein, where I co-rearranged hotels e.g. Miramonte, Hotel Regina and others.
In the mountains a long-standing cooperation with cabinetmaker Rainer Koch
and architect Ike Ikrath evolved.

For furniture building it´s important for me developing special objects through a targeted
and personal collaboration with my clients. I only use solid wood,
put together with traditional wood joints and glueings. The "shape glueing" is also the technical base
for my masterpiece "Bobbelbanja": I sawed tailor-made wedges,
glued and reworked them.

My work of fine arts and furniture design I considered separately for a long time.
In the exhibition "Flechten" in Madero CollectorsRoom in Salzburg these two worlds merged for the first time on a larger scale.
I developed a pinos-cembra-furniture collection, the exhibition architecture
and a lighting system. Framed works get a presentation furniture and become objects.
Room and objects form a symbiosis and become a walk-in installation.
