Lutz Hüning
Lutz Hüning loves clarity in form, material and function.
In accordance with his own dispo-sition, his designs move around these compositional parameters.
Lutz Hüning first trained as a cabinet-maker in Bochum.
 
 
 
   
 
He then studied architecture in Wuppertal and Düsseldorf. As a studio assistant for the British sculptor Tony Cragg, Hüning first came into contact with his art toward the end of the 90ies.

Lutz Hünings own objects consist of reduction. But the enormous mobility and agility of his design objects is surprising.
His sliding shelves for the wall are made of wood and multi-coloured elements They look like boxes strung up on a wooden slat. The separate shelves are flexible.

Looking at the wall object one could get the impression of looking from above into a house or sky scraper that no longer has a roof.
In such moments Hüning's architec-tural claims to his creations are revealed.
A further claim is for transparency. Lutz Hüning constructs his objects in such a way that mundane actions such as sliding, turning and rotating become an aesthetic pleasure.
Due to his professional background the designer also has a great privilege: he is his own quality control. As a trained cabinet-maker he investigates what the material can accomplish. As an architect he checks the space surrounding his objects. And as a designer he liberates the function from its austerity.
