Project Description

Description: Stainless steel, 88 x 72 x 25 cm
Catalogue note: Philipp Meier is a New Zealand based sculptor whose work is driven by a fascination with the natural world. Designing and making furniture since an early age, he was awarded “The Young Designer of the Year” in 1995 and 1996. He studied Architecture, Building and Design in New Zealand and Germany.  Meier’s work seeks an authenticity of form and structure, where meets fluidity and experimentation. Fascinated by the integrity and perfection of the natural world and its mechanism, he pushes material limitations; seemingly simple lines are expertly manipulated and executed. Meier has worked extensively with councils around New Zealand on public art projects and sculptural playgrounds, collaborating regularly with landscape architects and other artists. He currently lives and works in New Zealand.
