A new look at traditional craftsmanship

The magic of the Dolomites: the inspiring story and organic beauty of ancient driftwood in South Tyrol.

Gerhard Ploner draws his creative energy from the unique Swiss pine driftwood found in alpine regions. These often bizarre-looking tree remains are more than just a source of material for him. They represent a fascinating link with nature, which has written its own history over the centuries. These ancient pieces of driftwood have been shaped by nature. They have an organic beauty that inspires him in his creative vision and serves as a living starting point for his unique works of art. In this way, the woods of the alps become a source of inspiration that finds a unique and timeless form of expression in the creative works of Gerhard Ploner.
