Studio Maximilian Beck aims to capture natural phenomena in order to create objects for living purposes. The main inspiration lies in the observation of forces that shape our world and the way light affects it. Beck’s sculptural works are created through an intuitive practice, a dialog between hand and material. The significance of its functional fulfillment is subordinate, with a greater emphasis placed on conceptual design with a narrative momentum. In particular, the tension between raw mass and fragile structure characterizes his work and finds expression in ever new forms.
