Laurn Böhm

Designer and trained carpenter from the Alpine region, where local questions between material origin and landscape conditions shape everyday life. This background informs his research-driven practice, which investigates water systems and the ways human behavior affects environments and the other way around. At the Design Academy Eindhoven, he developed a methodology that combines handcrafted objects with engagement of communities. Recent work includes the exhibition Studio Technogeographies (Z33, Hasselt, 2024), where he presented research on water behavior, materiality, and handmade fieldwork objects. The investigation into Austria’s infrastructure and dependence on artificial snow was shown at Atlas of Distances (Faber, Timisoara, 2023).
