Christorpher Kurtz


Christopher Kurtz is a sculptor turned furniture maker, turned sculptor, his working practise swings between the the frivolous impracticality of sculpture balanced by the functionality of furniture.
Through both genre's of work you can see a love of fluid line, like calligraphy in the air.



"I am interested in moments where the handmade is replaced by production and when the pendulum swings back to the handmade due to needs that production can not meet." Christopher Kurtz

Kino Guerin



"I like challenges. I gave myself one a few years ago, one that would become my levimotiv : from now on, I would make furniture with a unique piece of wood, no legs, no crossbars or supports" Kino Guerin


"Kino Guerin is a master at bending a rigid material to get this beautiful flow and movement. he creates an elegance. A beautiful, lyrical flow." Michael Monroe


Kino Guerin also uses amazing veneers such as bloodwood, lacewood and zebra wood to create the unique finishes on his pieces.
