Konrad Koppold

German Wood Artist


Konrad Koppold creates thin-walled vessels in native woods, particularly oak, exploring the balance between form and surface.

Having studied design and worked as an Interior Designer, his artistic approach extends beyond traditional craftsmanship, weaving a precise, architectural formal language together with the wood’s vibrant, inherent character.

Working with asymmetrical shapes turned on different axes, he brings a sense of movement and tension to the minimalism of his designs. Heavily brushed surfaces reveal the grain and living structure of the wood, while natural tannins create subtle variations in the colour.

“I am captivated by the shape of old oak trees. Their coarse-pored, at times untamed, grain fascinates me. When the wood is brushed, it reveals a richly textured surface that feels irrestibily inviting to the touch.”
