An object is conceived through the interaction between the material and the hand that treats it. The work is at firs little more than a feeling, a sense of what is developing both intuitively and gradually. This explains why Lukas Cober prefers to work by doing, through procedures that are experimental in nature and do not jump ahead. He is a maker, a craftsman as much as an artist, a designer who sees the material he works with as a medium that requires patience and opens possibilities that only become accessible through in-depth exploration.

The ultimate usefulness of the resulting object, while an added value, is essentially secondary to this dialogue between form and matter, and to the willingness to carefully explore and experiment. To get in touch with the nature of what sometimes presents itself unexpectedly. A process in which the progressively evolving design is valued above all for its singular expressiveness. The way it engages with its environment, its sculptural quality through which it articulates an exceptional elegance.

The aesthetic that makes the oeuvre stand out with ease is likewise not a premise but a consequence. A result of a genuine devotion to the creative process and a willingness to let an inner voice speak. A most-personal disposition that is unbound and unfettered by the dictates of prevailing trends and popularity.

Seen as such, the fluid lines from which the sculptural pieces of furniture derive their gentle temperament reflect the individuality of the designer. Meticulously crafted, the pieces are the result of a seasoned skill and an unwavering commitment to excellence and artistry. A testament to competence and expertise at the service of a passion for beauty and authentic self-expression.
