Discover more about the artist and his process below.
Peter Weber was born in 1944 in Kollmar/Elbe, Germany. He lives and works near Munich, Germany and in Vignale / Monferrato, Italy
"The folding material is transformed from a flat surface into a three-dimensional, architectonic structure, which, when unfolded, glides back into a flat relief. It is the idea of wholeness that fascinates and entices me to persevere to the limits of what is technically feasible in order to resolve the problems connected with the complex structure.”
Using the most varied techniques and materials, Peter Weber has developed a system for folding the entire surface of a single piece of material without cutting it. His folded works of undyed or dyed felt, which has been Weber’s dominant material since 2001, exhibit a strong materiality. Discover more about the artist and his process below.
The pieces in this show called “Vernetzung” show clearly how complex a pure folding is. In addition to felt and paper, Weber also uses materials such as handmade paper, canvas, cotton, high-dense polyethylene and even steel. In late 2017, he created his first folded steel reliefs.
Weber's work, perfectly ties together and echoes the collection of furniture that will be on display throughout the exclusive UK launch of Man of Parts. From Rakumbas, Big Glow, the felted lights made from Australian wool and plant-based compostable fibre, reflecting Weber's use of soft materials, to Man of Parts' Via Bernina Round table, which mimics the strong graphic forms which Weber's work transforms into.
