About the Designer:
After his carpentry apprenticeship, several years of furniture re-thinking respectively re-designing during his art school attendance at Stuttgart School of Design, he kicked off his own furniture label KRUMNIKL ENVIRONMENT. Over the years, the possibility to leave the bounderies of daily design patterns and requests behind him, became more attractive. As a consequence, he started the art project TENWORDSANDONESHOT evolving in parallel the experience of combining his classical handcraft skills with the artfull expession of exhibition as an advisor for the artist and her/him/they exhibition structure and design. In 2022 he began the works of his still ongoing art cycleone of a kind chairs, processing the experiences he made in the past three decades. Doubting the concept of the disposable society, hunting for perfection and meanwhile becoming more and more uniform and exchangeable, he strictly based his work on reusing found, donated and second hand materials. The focus on creating non conformistic and expectation breaking chairs, means dealing and altercating with one of the first furniture pieces of human man kind. Not only used to sit but also provide impressions of power, of hierarchy and social status to its observer,situating her/him/they in the social embedment the chair and its acting personalities evoke. He is mainly fascinated by the process, the necessary improvisation and almost endless variations that come along with all the different materials that cross his way. It is clear to see, he is fascinated by materials that are used on construction sites. Simply because he cannot escape his past and the experiences he made on all the sites he was working at. Diving into the process, expressing and filtering the mass-input by media, daily accelaration and the re-definition of social values, is a relief and escape from the fast and more and more complex world mostly not understood by him…
