I process all kinds of used, discarded and new materials into unique pieces. Combinations of materials, sometimes even misuse, give each product its own distinctive character:

- Picture frames + keyboards made from file folders

- Pin boards made from bicycle rims

- Magnets, pins, earrings, rings made from crown caps

Blauer Baldower - Patricia von Tugginer

Blauer Baldower - Patricia von Tugginer

By experimenting, developing, changing, conceiving, exposing, designing, fantasising, constructing, misappropriating - in short, baldowering - unique pieces, small series and light objects are created that do not always quite fit the term upcycling. Rather, existing things are often given a new purpose, whether old or new. So tarpaulins, wine crates but also infusion bottles sometimes become light objects; wrestling mats, school wall cards and ties become bags.
