Hobelsberger Studios

Hobelsberger Studios is the practice of designer, engineer and architect Georg Hobelsberger. Product design, services for art projects and project lighting solutions, with extended consultancy upon request.

I love light and the craft of making beautiful and original pieces. As a student my focus was on creating unique light experiences and creating art with light is still a key driver of my work. Even throughout my time as an industrial designer I never fully left the field of art, and in the past two decades I have created light art projects for private and public spaces.

My network of experts and specialist partners enables me to provide complete project solutions. Our unifying core value at Hobelsberger Studios is to provide high quality work, based on a deep understanding of lighting technology and production technology, and a keen aesthetic sense of the specific architectural or environmental context.
