Using the tools of the past and the processes of today, something new is created that seemed lost - hand-woven fabrics on furniture and objects as a holistic design.

Hand-woven fabrics allow for a lively surface structure and a diversity that cannot be found in industrially manufactured materials, or that is not foreseen or feasible from an economic point of view. This form of textile design and creation therefore contrasts with a cultural loss that is to be revived and brought into the present in a contemporary context. Not profane but, at second glance, post-industrially productive.

In my furniture objects, I take up the textile design of the Bauhaus Art Academy, where innovative hand-woven fabrics were already designed and marketed very successfully. A tribute to 100 years of Bauhaus! The fabrics are mostly made of natural linen and cotton. They are decoratively processed on high-quality "mid-century" designer furniture made of fine woods such as teak, cherry or rosewood, as well as garden furniture and decorative objects. The exhibition is dedicated to my dear wife Isabella (graduated textile designer and hand weaver †01.04.2019), with whom I developed the works and who unfortunately died suddenly and far too early in childbirth.
