Expect the unexpected

  • • Philipp is inspired by natural and cultural phenomena
  • • His objects have ingenious twists
  • • Steambending of wood is one of his specialisations

One of Philipp von Hase’s main principles is to make objects that are useful. Philipp strives to make sculptural pieces with ingenious conceptual twists that enhance their functionality. Born in Germany, Philipp studied Furniture Making in Hanover and graduated in Furniture Design at the Academy of Arts and Design in Bergen, on the west coast of Norway, where he now lives. Dedicated to the sustainable use of materials, he works in harmony with the texture of the wood and his pieces are still intriguing even when upside down or back to front like the Trialog, a three legged chair designed for reverse sitting, with a backrest that serves as an armrest when the chair is used backwards. Inspired by cultural phenomena, his artistic practice is divided into Møbel, Pøbel and Trødel design.
