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.
