ASTA CHARITY PER L'OSPEDALE LUIGI SACCO DI MILANO, LOTTI VENDUTI SENZA COMMISSIONI
Lotto offerto da Philip Weber con donazione al 50% spedito da Berlino, Germania Per questo vaso il designer ha sviluppato un tubo di vetro soffiato ispirato alla tromba che consente all'artigiano di modellare le cavità interne del vetro. Applicando diverse valvole nella parte superiore del tubo, il soffiatore di vetro crea una varietà di camere d'aria all'interno del vetro invece di averne solo una utilizzando il tubo convenzionale. Weber (*1987 in Münster, Germany) graduated B.A. in 2012 from the renowned Design Academy Eindhoven in the Netherlands and M.A. 2016 from University of Arts in Berlin. In his work he seeks to rethink human qualities within production processes. The mystery that lies in the craft of glassblowing or the alien work environment of a coal miner are topics which inspire him and feed his fascination. Weber believes that in an increasingly digitized world the comprehension and appreciation for original production processes are getting lost. In search of hidden values in manufacturing processes, he poses new prospects on craftsmanship and their importance for our society. He was awarded the German Design Award for Newcomers in 2018. In December 2018 he co-founded the lighting label ANALOG and became partner at Berlins only glassblowing workshop ‚Berlin Art Glas‘.
