Wrap Beech Brass Table Light from Johannes Hemann

About This Piece

Contemporary Design

Wrap is the series of objects in which Johannes Hemann examines the shells of things remaining after their disappearance. For this, branches of trees are covered in brass wire which is then soldered; through this method the branch is burned out of the cast. The original shape of the branches remains in the cover of brass wire now defining the shape of the lamp. The shape of the pieces in this series is not only defined by the process of covering, but mostly by the shape of the branch. And from the shape of the branch, the viewer can guess to which tree the branch belonged. The spruce branches which Hemann used for some lamps, for example, open wide and wild. The beech branches create leaner, higher forms. The surface on the outside is polished until it is possible to see the two materials: the steel wire and the brass soldering wire. The different colors are also reminiscent of the creation and appearance of annual growth rings. The inside is sandblasted and has been lacquered, to highlight this process. The diameter is variable between 12 and 20 cm.

About the Creator

Johannes Hemann

Johannes Hemann was born in 1980 in Göttingen, Germany. Hemann studied Product Design at Offenbach University of Art and Design in Germany, graduating in 2008. After graduating, Hemann worked as a design consultant for Stylepark Frankfurt from 2009 until 2010 and subsequently interned with KiBiSi in Copenhagen from 2010 until 2011.

In 2011, Hemann established his eponymous studio in Frankfurt, Germany. Since 2013, his studio has been located in Bad Sooden Allendorf, Germany. Hemann describes his design aesthetic as organic and process driven, as he attempts to “translate the complexity and diversity of nature into objects and products.” Standout projects include Stolenwood Catching the Wild Coat Rack (2005); Stolenwood Hit It (2005) a series of saloon-style furniture made from PE Foam; and Storm (2008-2015), which is a collection of furniture objects that are created and shaped by the power of wind using compressed air, adhesives, and heat. In 2015, the collection was commissioned by the architect Peter Marino for the Christian Dior flagship store in Seoul, South Korea. Other notable designs include Wrap (2016), a series of pendant and table lights that are made by wrapping brass, copper, and iron wire around the branches of trees to create a hollow shell; and Akoya Table Light (2017).

Hemann’s work has been exhibited at various international design exhibitions throughout Europe, Japan, and the United States. Most recently in 2016, Hemann exhibited his Core series at Galerie Joseph during Paris Design Week, his Wrap series at Galerie Joseph during D'DAYS, and his Storm series at the gallery Victor Hunt in Brussels.

Hemann has been nominated for multiple awards including the Design Award Newcomer of the Federal Republic of Germany in 2010 and 2011, as well as Young Designer for the German Design Award in 2012. In 2012, he was the winner of the Domaine de Boisbuchet Cork Competition in France.
