Patrick Weder
Born in Switzerland and having spent more than two decades in New York City, Patrick Weder's sculptural furniture is rooted in the austere precision of the Swiss, his adoration of nature, and a relationship with urban infrastructure. Weder’s continually evolving body of work is united by a powerful clarity of purpose, a meticulous line that combines mindful process and visionary experimentation through one-of-a-kind, custom collectable pieces.
His background in art, design and architecture and his intimate understanding of materials as diverse as wood, concrete, steel, stone and resin, inform his search for new forms. With a great passion for the environment, Weder maintains focus on sustainability. In his Outside In series, impeccable craftsmanship guides his thoughtful choice of trees and integrates them with clean lines of industrial forms. The inside/outside dichotomy becomes permeable through Weder’s signature sculptural interventions, as he coaxes surprising softness out of concrete and echoes the organic lines of wood grain. Weder’s pieces integrate aesthetics and functionality and bring balance to an enduring union of nature and the hand-made.
