Studio Cober’s Fibreglass & Resin Pieces are Individually Built by Hand.

The New Wave stool in Volan fibreglass by Studio Cober.

Each piece is individually built and hand shaped.

Lukas brings his unique aesthetic expression to each piece with sculptural finesse and organic shapes.

Founded in 2018 by Lukas Cober, Maastricht-based Studio Cober is an interdisciplinary design atelier that combines craftsmanship and a deep knowledge of materials with a unique aesthetic expression. This September, the studio’s brand new pieces made primarily from fibreglass and resin, alongside select works from the past, will be presented at St. Vincents gallery in Antwerp.

Cober’s unique furniture objects emphasise the value and beauty of raw materials, such as wood, fibreglass and resin—they are minimalist yet sculptural pieces of timeless beauty. His collection is defined by architectural lines, sculptural finesse and organic shapes.

For this exhibition, Lukas Cober is building further on the Kuro collection—his debut in furniture design and his second New Wave collection. Amongst the pieces on display at St. Vincents will be a new Resin coffee table, the largest dining table in black fibreglass made so far, a large sculptural wall fixture, which will be Cober’s first light and wall sculpture, a new dining chair and new Fibreglass wall shelves.

Made to order, each object is individually built and hand shaped, resulting in perfectly imperfect pieces that are first designed with the aid of the computer, and then reproduced by a casting mould. While the cast moulds are used, the final shape of each piece is achieved by hand and not by the mould. The outcome is an object that in its details could never be designed on a computer or built as a 3D model, but rather an organic sculptural piece.

The exhibition St. Vincents runs from 29 September to 19 November. For more information visit stvincents.co and lukascober.com.
