Coffee Table "Spring/Summer" by Valentin Loellmann

About the Item

The «Spring/Summer» collection from the German designer Valentin Loellmann can be seen as both a continuation and a reflection of the approach developed in the Fall/Winter collection. The Spring/Summer collection, to which new pieces will be added from time to time, consists of pieces with an oak top around which a metal body is modeled. The forged structure of the base resembles the organic forms of pieces grown together, though here obtained with a cold material. The oak top is slightly bent, burned and sanded with wax, resulting in a matte, leathery finish. The electroformed copper body sculpted around the seat introduces a cool material, but radiates a warm glow that contrasts and complements the dark oak top and mirrors the season from which it sprang through its changing colors. With the coffee table, Valentin Loellmann digresses from this guideline, relative to the new materials he has used. He innovates by working bronze and resin, offering a reinterpretation of his own collection. The work on forms is essentially the same (smooth lines, organic curves and joints treated) but the aesthetic result differs. Presented in a new light, the Spring/Summer collection allows new visual and tactile experiences, we rediscover it... 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 triggered 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 private 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.
