Born in 1977, Tillmann Lauterbach is an artist and a circular designer. Between 2006 and 2015, Lauterbach’s fashion collections were showcased at boutiques like l’Eclaireur in Paris, H Lorenzo in Los Angeles, and Dover Street Market in London, Tokyo and New York.

In 2021–22, together with Victoria Pignatelli and Tommaso Foggini, he co-founded the design collective Ultra Solid dedicated to EU habitat conservation. 

Tillmann Lauterbach’s path is that of an artist, a seeker, an anarchist, a raver, a lover and a dreamer.

Apart from design, Lauterbach is also active in visual arts. His creations include found-objects sculpture, collage and painting, which were featured in several group exhibitions: Gallery P:C: Neumann during Art Basel (2007) and at the Gallery Lafayette in Paris (2008) and Gallery Gordon Pym, Paris (2009), King Kong Magazine x Marsel group show in Milan, Italy (2022) and Gallery Kuehlraum in Vienna, Austria (2015) and Gallery Soleille, Ibiz, Spain (2024), blending circularity, art and design.

HIGH VIBRATIONAL OBJECTS

Lauterbach’s High Vibrational Objects are a meditation on contrast, tension, and the hidden soul of materials. Composed entirely of upcycled and found elements, these works are assemblages of past and present, reflecting both the aggression and irony of contemporary life.

“Every material holds a history, a presence. These objects are not merely compositions but companions—keepers of memory and knowledge, vibrational compositions waiting to be experienced.”

Each piece is unique yet part of a series, continuing Lauterbach’s ongoing dialogue between art, sustainability, and encoded storytelling.
