Dörte Bundt is a Berlin-based multidisciplinary artist whose practice lies at the intersection of fine art, craft, and design. Her evocative textile and ceramic works transcend traditional boundaries, blending raw natural materials such as cotton, jute, raffia, and clay into sculptural pieces exploring themes of transformation, symbolism, and spatial interplay.
Deeply inspired by the intrinsic qualities of her materials and the organic beauty of natural landscapes, Dörte reimagines traditional techniques within a contemporary context. The textures, imperfections, and possibilities inherent in each material guide her process, resulting in tactile, conceptually rich artworks. While her large-scale, hand-knotted tapestries—often centered around portal-like forms—explore themes of transition and the unknown, her wider practice includes sculptural forms and experimental designs emphasizing materiality and space.
Dörte’s works have been exhibited internationally and integrated into bespoke interior projects, bridging the gap between functional design and fine art. As the founder of California Dreaming, she is also known for collaborations with global brands, merging artistic expression with innovative design solutions.
Her collections invite audiences to engage deeply with the tactile and symbolic, creating a dialogue between craftsmanship and modern art.
