Antonio Labuhar (b. 1996, Zell am See) is a Vienna-based Croatian artist working at the intersection of sculpture, abstraction, and interior design. Using organic wool as his primary material, he creates tactile works that function as sensory anchors in an increasingly disembodied world.
After a period in Berlin working as a motion designer and VFX artist, Labuhar returned to Vienna, where he completed his Master’s degree in Digital Design & Experimental Media at the University of Applied Sciences St. Pölten in 2022.
His practice explores materiality, space, and emotion, moving between physical presence and imagination. Working with natural and sustainable materials, he brings elements of nature back into constructed environments. Each piece emerges through a deliberate process, establishing a dialogue between softness and form, intimacy and object. His work invites viewers to pause, feel, and recognize softness and nature as forms of strength.
“My work is driven by the need to create a counterbalance to the hardness and acceleration of contemporary life. For me, wool is more than a material – it is an anchor, a soft resonant space where thoughts and emotions take shape.
Through sculpture, abstraction, and interior, I explore the interconnections of materiality, space, and the body. I am interested in the tension between physical presence and imagination, between functional use and poetic meaning.
Each piece emerges from a deliberate, slow process – handmade with natural and sustainable materials. My focus is not perfection, but invitation: to pause, to feel, to connect. I want to show that softness can be a form of strength, and that art can open spaces in which we encounter ourselves anew.”
