More About Klaus Kirchner

Question IconWhat inspires you?

Nice Forms, flowing curves, other artworks

Question IconDescribe your creative process.

My approach is like that: If I have a design idea I go into the wood store area and select the suitable piece of wood for the job, or I take a close look at the log of wood given and let the wood tell me what I can do with it. Timber with lot of character are my favorites, like having knots, missing areas or other pecularities. These inspire me the most.
