Wrap Beech Pendant Light from Johannes Hemann

About This Piece

Contemporary Design

German-based designer Johannes Hemann's Wrap series examines the shells of things that remain after their disappearance. In this case, tree branches are covered in iron wire. The wire is then soldered, and the branch is burned out of the cast. The branch's original form lives on through the wire.

The shapes of the resulting pieces are defined not only by the process of covering them in wire, but also--and even moreso--by the original shape of each branch. Objects made of spruce branches, for example, open wide and wild. Beech branches create leaner, higher forms.

The outside surfaces are polished until it is possible to see two materials--both the steel wire and the brass soldering wire. The different colors are also reminiscent of the creation and appearance of annual growth rings. The interiors are sandblasted and lacquered.
