Art in Architecture – Stairway Fichtenhain For a private modular studio house, a marble staircase is planned to connect the garden with the house level. The height difference to be overcome is 45 cm. The design concept is open. Project idea The idea for the project proposal emerged during a sleepless night.
A veiled vacuum surrounds the scene of a diplomatic meeting. Three whisky glasses—one overturned—a decanter, and an ashtray containing the remains of cigars tell of an encounter whose outcome remains concealed. Corruption, power struggles, and dubious interests linger in the air. The spilled whisky…
Two marble armchairs, draped with cloths, stand facing one another. The space between them: respectful distance or an insurmountable divide? A symbol of a dialogue brought to a standstill. Different in form, the sculptures embody the uniqueness of the individual. The cloths covering the chairs become signs of stillness, protection, withdrawal — and of what remains unspoken.

The need for security is fundamental – but does it really exist? Is it an illusion to believe that insurance and money provide true security? A guarantee? Security is closely linked to human fear and vulnerability and opens up a wide field for philosophical reflection…
The Blow Chair – a design classic from the 1960s – was made of plastic and filled with air. The marble version, by contrast, is intended for eternity. Equally timeless is the human need to dream. The armchair invites you to sit down, relax, dream, and develop new perspectives…
WATER addresses water as the basis of existence for all forms of life. In the bound form of a crushed PET bottle, the work draws attention to the use of resources and the issue of waste. The sculpture symbolises the way we deal with water in every respect…
Ein Abfallsack – Sinnbild für das Unbrauchbare. Doch hier: aus edlem Carrara-Marmor, in Stein verewigt, mit all seinen Falten – scheinbar weich, tatsächlich hart. Ein Wiederspruch? Was sonst vergänglich und wertlos wirkt, wird hier schwer und kostbar. Wann verliert ein Wert seinen…
