Nils Buchner is a Craftsman, Artist & Ojectesigner, born in 1990 in Nordhorn. I combine traditional craftsmanship with artistic expression and functional design. My journey began with an apprenticeship as a carpenter, which gave me a deep understanding of materials and their processing. Studying product design with a focus on interior design further expanded my perspective on form, function, and aesthetics, reinforcing my belief that craftsmanship and design are inseparable.

Over the years, I have worked across various fields – from ceramics and silversmithing to metalwork, woodturning, and sculpture. Each of these experiences informs my work, which is driven by an intuitive, experimental approach to materials. Since 2022, my focus has been on sculpture and Objectdesign, where I merge raw materiality with precise craftsmanship to create objects that balance artistic expression and functionality.

Alongside my own practice, I conduct workshops in different areas of craftsmanship, sharing my knowledge and making creative processes tangible. My goal is to inspire people to engage with materials, forms, and traditional techniques, encouraging them to develop their own creative paths.

Whether working with wood, metal, stone…, I see each material as having its own narrative. My process is a dialogue between these natural qualities and my artistic vision, where traditional techniques and modern aesthetics merge into a cohesive whole.
