Clara Schweers is a German designer and artist based in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. She was trained as an Industrial Designer before completing her Master’s in Contextual Design at Design Academy Eindhoven. Her practice lies at the intersection of glass and digital storytelling, exploring how gestures, narratives, and compositions from virtual spaces can be translated into tangible, expressive glass forms.
Working with glass—a medium both ancient and technologically advanced—Schweers reinterprets digital aesthetics through physical craft. Using 3D modeling software, she manipulates motion files from virtual environments to transform game-engine gestures into intimate choreographies. These distorted digital movements are reimagined through techniques such as glass fusing and flameworking, resulting in fragile yet precise mirrors, neon works, animations, and installations.
Her visual language is symmetrical, figurative, and abstract, often carrying a distinctly digital character. Through this approach, she explores forms that appear machine-made but are crafted entirely by hand. The high degree of symmetry in her work becomes both an aesthetic signature and a technical challenge—pushing the limits of manual precision to mirror the perfection of automated processes.
Schweers’ practice reflects a continuous dialogue between material and digital realms. By translating computer-generated movements into glass, she investigates how digital gestures can gain physical presence and emotional resonance through craft.
