Dörte Bundt

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 that explore themes of transformation, symbolism, and the interplay between space and texture. Deeply inspired by the intrinsic qualities of her materials, as well as the organic beauty of natural landscapes, Dörte’s work reimagines traditional techniques within a contemporary context. The textures, imperfections, and possibilities inherent in each material guide her creative process, resulting in artworks that are both tactile and conceptually rich. While her

large-scale, hand-knotted and woven tapestries—often centered around portal-like forms invite contemplation on transition, possibility, and the unknown, her wider practice includes sculptural forms and experimental designs that emphasize materiality and spatial relationships. 

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 her 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, materiality, and modern art.
