Tillmann Lauterbach (b. 1977) is an artist and circular designer whose work seamlessly merges material upcycling, time capsules, and archetypal explorations. With a background in fashion, Lauterbach’s collections were showcased at pioneering boutiques such as L’Eclaireur (Paris), H Lorenzo (Los Angeles), and Dover Street Market (London, Tokyo, and New York). A former LVMH award finalist, he has collaborated with Asics Japan, Comme des Garçons, and artists such as Olafur Eliasson and Wataru Komachi.
In 2017, Lauterbach founded REVERB, China’s most advanced eco-brand, and contributed to the Ellen MacArthur Circular Guide to Fashion. His design practice extends beyond fashion into sculpture, collage, and painting, with works exhibited in Vienna, Paris, Milan, and beyond. His art is deeply rooted in material transformation, repurposing discarded elements into new narratives that explore the passage of time, collective memory, and the hidden codes of existence. Lauterbach’s High Vibrational Objects are a meditation on contrast, tension, and the hidden soul of materials. Composed entirely of upcycled and found elements, these works are assemblages of past and present, reflecting both the aggression and irony of contemporary life. “Every material holds a history, a presence. These objects are not merely compositions but companions—keepers of memory and knowledge, vibrational compositions waiting to be experienced.” Each piece is unique yet part of a series, continuing Lauterbach’s ongoing dialogue between art, sustainability and encoded storytelling.
