Turning his hand to wood sculpting

• • Peter creates unique sculptural wooden objects
• • His passion is to master and improve turning techniques
• • He is inspired by natural forms

Peter Hromek moved from former Czechoslovakia to Germany at a young age. He studied mechanical engineering and later, encouraged by a friend, built his first guitar, which led to him devoting ten years to this craft. Peter even wrote and published a book on how to make guitars. But fate led him to woodturning, which became his passion. He now turns hollow sculptural objects using multi-axis turning. His objects are showcased in exhibitions not only in Germany but also in Austria, the USA, and Australia and are praised by collectors. His sleek and slightly erotic objects can be used in interiors, as sculptures and as functional yet intriguing vessels. Peter loves technical challenges and also creates original pepper and spice grinders. In addition to the unique turned shape, he has also developed a highly resistant grinding mechanism for these homeware items, heritage of his former training as a mechanic.
