Of Movement and Material addresses the way in which the human body and an amorphous substance like glass influence each other. The light pendants are created through a dance between the maker and the material. The work aims to acain a sense of the human, capturing the emotional quality of the physical movement.
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‘.
