Georg Baldele is a designer-sculptor who combines industrial materials with hand-working techniques to create exquisite installations. Born in Austria, he moved to London in 1996 to study at the Royal College of Art.
One of the new generation of London-based designers to emerge in the late 1990s and early 2000s, Georg Baldele works on the cusp of design, sculpture and craft to create exquisitely intricate lights and light installations.
Born in 1968 in Villach, Austria, he attended the College of Mechanical Engineering in Klagenfurt before studying product design at the Vienna Academy of Applied Arts. Among the guest professors was Ron Arad, the Israeli-born, British-based designer and architect. When he left the Vienna Academy in 1996, Baldele moved to London to study furniture design at the Royal College of Art. When the professorship of furniture design came up, Baldele petitioned for Arad to be appointed. Probably coincidentally, Arad was given the post and taught Baldele again during his second year at the RCA.
