Rapanui II - Veit Korn

In Noble Contrasts, eras, materials, and styles converge in a curated harmony. A Biedermeier chest, crafted from polished walnut with a deep, dark finish, forms the foundation of this artistic composition. Its warm, historical character contrasts with the refined simplicity of an Art Deco liquor glass, whose smooth, transparent surface embodies the elegance of the early 20th century.

At the center stands the modern sculpture “Rapanui II”, carved from deep black Belgian Limestone. Its raw, almost archaic texture contrasts with the minimalist, abstract contours, reminiscent of ancient cultures yet infused with a distinctly contemporary presence.

This arrangement thrives on the interplay of materials—the sleek, polished wood, the smooth, translucent glass, and the rugged natural stone—while seamlessly blending different design movements: the classic craftsmanship of Biedermeier, the geometric precision of Art Deco, and the sculptural abstraction of modern art.

Noble Contrasts celebrates the dialogue between past and future, tradition and avant-garde.
