Sofa "Fall/Winter" by Valentin Loellmann

About the Item

The collection «Fall/Winter» from the German designer Valentin Loellmann consists of furniture with different dimensions, functions and structures: table, desk, bench, stool... Although diverse in size and set-up, all pieces are characterized by a similar working process in which mortise-and-tenon joints are used to connect hazel branches to an oak top. A mixture of sawdust and glue is used to fill and round off these connections, resulting in an esthetic, organic form in which no sharp edges remain. The pieces are burned and treated with wax, after which the top is sanded, polished and treated with oil. The hazel branches, chosen for their strength and straightness, introduce a natural dynamic into the final structure and give each piece a distinct though recognizable character. Unique piece, signed and dated. Made exclusively for Galerie Gosserez. Valentin Loellmann was born and raised in southern germany (1983). He grew up in an atmosphere of creativity, or better: shared creativity. Since his childhood, Valentin has been evolving in a family in which the passion for creative expression is a common impulse. This naturally trig¬gered in him the awareness for a potentially artistic development. As a kid, curiosity, the desire to discover, and a special sensibility regarding his surroundings, laid the founda¬tions to his creative spirit and ambition. He has carried these qualities on through his personal evolution. They kept influencing his work in different contexts and along different states of mind. An experience, a mood or a feeling in relation with his direct surroundings can be the impetus to create. Whether perceived as a collector, a dreamer, a wood worker, a designer or an artist, Valentin continuously aim to express the balance and reciprocity between the past and the present, the old and the new, the natural and the artificial. In 2010, just after graduating from the Academy of fine Arts in Maastricht , Valentin founded his own studio in the center of Maastricht. Today it crystallizes his thoughts, inspirations and emotions, to an extent it feels home. In the past years, collaborations with galleries and pri¬vate commissioners have framed a considerable part of Valentin’s work. The acclaim of the pieces displayed at art fairs such as Design Miami/Basel , Salone del Mobile Milano, and Pavillion Art and Design - where the Spring-Summer console has been awarded PAD London’s Best Con-temporary Design Piece in 2013 - have also been of great reward and influence. These experiences have opened a new spectrum in which reflection on and dedication to the process is almost an end in itself, giving a new impulse to his work.
