Lukas Cober founded his eponymous studio in 2018, following an education as a product designer in Maastricht and Lisbon and a formative assistantship with his mentor Valentin Loellmann. Yet above all, it was the outcome of a vocation. An unbridled urge to create that has driven him since childhood and continues to this day to dedicate himself to form and to matter, to generating beauty that — averse to trends — expresses an idiom in which authenticity sets the tone. Whether working with wood or fibreglass, with resin or cast metal, he invariably explores their possibilities, and considers the handling of the material to be at the heart of the process. 

At Studio Lukas Cober, each piece therefore attests to a relentless pursuit of craftsmanship and arises from a sensitive and experiential approach. A personal touch, best taken literally, that resonates in the sculptural furniture, lending it an unmistakable handcrafted signature.

What transcends the collections is their fluidity of line, the often-undulating contours that seem to consolidate a movement. A wave that at one time condenses its energy, elsewhere calms down peacefully into a gentle curve that smoothly unites the horizontal and the vertical. Rooted in his early fascination with the art of hand shaping surfboards, with its deep connection to creating aesthetically pleasing yet functional forms, and the fact that the two are intertwined, it continues to infuse his work with the richness of minimalism, helping to shape his profound language of clean lines and dynamic volumes.
