Luca Gruber is a German designer, working between Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Italy. He is also co-founder of BGGB studio, a collaborative practice initiated together with Sara Bologna.
His practice is rooted in excellence. He matured a sensibility towards high-end craftmanship during his years of apprenticeship at Bodo Sperlein’s and Ini Archibong’s studios, before opening his namesake studio in 2022. His current collaborations include Carl Auböck and J. & L. Lobmeyr.
Through each of his objects, Gruber attempts at realising tangible phenomena of poetry: in contrast to our fast-paced era, he celebrates care and dedication, that of the craftsmen who refine every detail of his pieces. Carving, funneling, welding, polishing odes to men’s labour and skills.
