The Gallery: Gabriel Wiese

9mattreechair2400_resize.jpg
Sculptor Gabriel Wiese was becoming a cabinetmaker when he found and fell in love with his medium of choice-cork.

His furniture uses steel construction and support, and stacked corks from wine and champagne bottles. Wiese says, "this way the material keeps its own history, even while getting a new one through my creation".

All of his pieces are for sale, and you can see his work at the Gallery of Functional Art in the Bergomont Station in Santa Monica.

Hello,

I am the art director of Destination Wine Country magazine
in Santa Barbara CA. In one of our departments we would like
to profile Gabriel Wiese cork furnature. Could you tell me how
I can contact him to ask him questions on his art and for photos
that are for print reproduction.

Thank you, Deja
