Philipp Weber

Philipp Weber (* 1987) graduated in 2012 from the Design Academy Eindhoven in the Netherlands.
In 2013 his project A Strange Symphony, an allegory between glass and music, won the New Talent Award of the Berlin Design Festival DMY and in 2015 the Bavarian State Prize for Young Designers. His work has been acquired by Mudac - Museum of Contemporary Design and Applied Arts - in Switzerland, and also by the Glass Museum in Shanghai.
Weber is looking for emotional qualities within production processes. Questions such as: What is the significance of the human relationship and a material and its processing? They guide his approach toward design. Weber believes that in an increasingly digitized world we are losing our understanding and appreciation of "the making" .
Through expressing the arcane values of manufactures, he poses new perspectives on production processes and craftsmanship. He recently graduated from the University of the Arts Berlin where he worked on his latest project From Below.
