That's me

My name is Michael Cerny and I am the creator of Kreativwerke.

Ever since I was small, I have had a deep-rooted passion for crafts and artisanal work. It is this creative power that fascinates and drives me. Creating things with my own hands, being creative, and unleashing the inner artist – this is my calling!

This passion, this heart and soul, paired with my craftsmanship, lives in every one of my works and products.

Anyone looking around my creative workshop will quickly notice that I have a great passion for traditional crafts. I partly work with tools and machines from long-forgotten times. Because that is the only way to reach the true core of HAND-craft and pour all of one's heart and soul and learned experience into it.

Upcycling is another aspect that inspires me. For years, I have also been a passionate collector of all sorts of rarities, historical machines, and nostalgia. Working with these beautiful things, breathing new life into them, and seeing how they delight and make people happy again is a wonderful feeling – it is my drive and my passion. For example, this resulted in a line of wallets made from the leather of old vaulting boxes like the ones we remember from P.E. class, leather bags made from old horse saddles that evoke wonderful memories, or antique machines converted into unique tables.

Growing up as a little free spirit like I did, always wanting to improve the world and living out my creativity, one tries their hand at all kinds of materials and substances, which allows me to offer a broad spectrum of works and products today. Always with passionate perfection and a love for the old and authentic craft.

Thank you for joining me on this wonderful creative journey. I look forward to continuing to work with my hands, to create, and to inspire.

Thank you for your appreciation

Michael Cerny
