After a beginning as a furnitures restorer in Italy, and more than nine years of experience in metalworking as Valentin Loellmann’s assistant, Christian specialized in merging the fluidity and elegance of materials like steel and brass. His journey began in the north of Italy, where he cultivated a deep respect for natural elements and elegant antique furniture pieces. Now based in the Netherlands, he applies the techniques acquired over nearly a decade at SVL, specializing in the metal construction of Valentin’s pieces. Working closely alongside him, he developed a deep sensitivity to beauty and elegance.
The techniques he employs—metal shaping, welding, and patination—are a natural extension of the skills developed throughout those years of experience.
Christian’s work transcends mere functionality, blending durability with artistic expression. By merging traditional craftsmanship with modern artistry, he creates pieces that not only serve as functional objects but also stand as enduring works of art.
Each creation is a testament to metal’s everlasting nature—crafted to endure, captivate, and evolve through time. Organic forms and subtle imperfections play a central role in his process, giving every piece a unique character and a sense of life.
Through this approach, Christian aims to push the boundaries of what metal can be, revealing its ability to express both strength and softness in every creation.
